Malacca Johore Diocese Census
Beginning end September and throughout the month of October 2019, the diocese will be carrying out a census at all Masses in all the Churches and Chapels of our diocese. 
Why a census? The purpose is to update the diocese and parish information for pastoral care, outreach and planning at all levels. We want to be an inclusive Church and not leave behind anyone. This is especially important as we prepare for our diocese Jubilee in 2022. The last census was conducted nearly a decade ago, and much has changed since then. 
Who is concerned by the Census? All Catholic parishioners and visitors are invited to complete one census card each. If you have infants, children and adult family members, kindly take one card EACH. If you have family members away from Church this weekend, sick or homebound, please fill for them too. If you are a visitor or not a Catholic but accompanying someone to Church, you may fill a card too, if you wish. Those currently learning the Catholic faith may also fill a card.
Where to get the cards? The Census cards will be distributed at Masses by the local parish census team, as well as made available at the parish Help desks for anyone who have not filled the cards. The cards exist in four languages. Some parishes may need to visit the BECs to collect additional census data. This can be done during the third and fourth weekends.
What information? The census information required are: Name in full, address, gender, year of birth, contact information, sacraments received and any pastoral care needed. Please fill-in the cards in romanised alphabets only. 
Data confidentiality. Please note that all data collected will be kept in the strictest confidence and will be used for Church purposes only. Thank you for your cooperation. 

All Souls Day Mass Offering
For those who would like to offer Mass on All Souls Day, kindly make your mass offering at the parish office during office hours.
