With church buildings closed because of the MCO, they have to celebrate their holiest week of the year at home. FMTNews LiveStreaming Catholic

A Catholic family in Sabah attending Palm Sunday mass through live streaming on Facebook.

In fact, the church decided on the suspension even before the movement control order came into effect on Apr 14, opting to provide live streaming of masses. The Archbishop of Kota Kinabalu, John Wong, is also saddened by the situation, which he said was affecting about 1.29 million Catholics in Malaysia.“Without the physical assembly of the congregation,” he said, “the liturgies lose their warmth and fellowship. It is in this sense that I feel sad. It is like a parent celebrating a family feast without the presence of his family members.”

But Wong sees a sort of blessing in the closing of church doors. “The worship has entered many Christian homes,” he said. “It has moved from churches and chapels to the homes of Christian families.”
