this was taken from Fr. Leo Chang's Souvenir of his final transfer and retirement. i knew Fr. Leo Chang when i was studying in UKM. He was the priest who baptized me with holy water on 16th April 2004, a year before his retirement. and he was the one who supported us, the catechumens during that time, to be baptized during that Easter day.
i got myself, both of his souvenir's designs (one, he is standing in front of the Blessed Sacrament, and another one is a picture of him, when he was young,in his Chinese costume).and they are my bookmarks for my Sunday Missal.
i still remember, when i was still in UKM and when Fr.Leo is still serving in Holy Family Kajang, he used to sit outside the church, in front of the main door, reading his chinese morning paper before the Mass begin. whenever, i passed him, i will greet him, morning, father. he will reply my greeting, but his eyes were still on his papers. that's Fr.Leo.
his sermons were written clearly in my notebooks (the times when i used to jot down the homily given ;p).
is this your missal? he asked me, one day, when i arrived early in the church for Mass and i decided to sit with him, in front on the main door.
yes.
write your name on it ah. every week people will donate us their missal, rosary and bible. i dont want you to donate to us also.
that's why my name is written nicely on my Missal, together with my contact numbers, just in case i left it in the church. but, of course i never leave it anywhere and it is still with me until today.
somehow it gives an impact on me, when i received SMS from Hazel saying 'Fr Leo Chang died dis morning'. i was shocked and i was speechless when i read it. i immediately offer him prayer.
