Fr Andrew Kooi – Farewell Message

Dear parishioners of HFK,

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Just as there is a time for everything, there is also a time to say hello, and a time to say goodbye, as we begin a new chapter in history. May we continue to celebrate the many experiences presented to us, both good and bad, and all in all, thank you, Lord, for all you've done, things both great and small, and for Jesus Christ your son, thank you most of all. Au revoir, good bye, God bless.

Sincerely,
Rev. Father Andrew Kooi
Parish Priest 
Church of the Holy Family, Kajang
