The Archdiocese of Kuching celebrated the 40th year of priesthood for her Vicar General, Msgr William Sabang, on May 4. The mid-afternoon Eucharistic celebration took place at the Chapel of Mother Mary, with several dignitaries and members of the clergy in attendance.
The prelate thanked Msgr William for saying “Yes” to God and for his “sacrifice and obedience” while serving under all the three archbishops. A priest’s anniversary celebration is a “celebration of the community”, not only for the priest, he said. Msgr William’s vocation journey began in 1975 at age 18, when he left his village in Serian to pursue his studies for the priesthood. He attended St Francis Xavier Minor Seminary in Singapore before continuing his education at the College General Penang Major Seminary from 1977 to 1982. Later, he pursued further studies at the University of Urbania in Rome, earning a Licentiate in Canon Law in 1990.
As Msgr William is the first Iban priest and the first priest from the Serian parish, he is popularly known as “Apai Will” meaning “Fr Will”.
