In a powerful display of faith and discovery, the Church of the Good Shepherd, Setapak, recently partnered with ASAYO to host S.C.A.N.—a transformative vocation programme for the next generation. The event brought together 250 enthusiastic youths and 37 lay collaborators, centred around four spiritual pillars: Seek, Charism, Accept, and Navigate. The day featured insightful breakout sessions and a moving Holy Hour, all aimed at helping participants explore the priesthood and religious life. Archbishop Julian Leow presided over the culminating Mass, during which Fr. Michel Dass delivered an inspiring message: do not fear failure in discernment. He encouraged the youth to trust God's guidance over their own anxieties. With support from Parish Priest Fr. Mitchell Anthony, Vocation Director Fr. Simon Labrooy, and various religious brothers and sisters, the event provided a rare, personal insight into consecrated life. The journey doesn't end here; participants are already looking forward to a follow-up retreat to continue their spiritual exploration.
In conjunction with the 219th Police Day Anniversary 2026, Archbishop Julian Leow concelebrated Mass with Fr Gerard Theraviam at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist for over 600 Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) personnel. The prelate posed a thought-provoking question: "Are you a police officer who is a Christian, or a Christian who is a police officer?" He emphasised the importance of identity and integrity, urging the officers to allow their faith to guide their actions and reminding them that true character is defined not by their uniform, but by their moral convictions. Drawing from his studies in Rome, the Archbishop highlighted the significance of staying true to one's primary calling. He encouraged the officers to reflect this identity in their conduct and decision-making. The gathering, which also included Minister YB Hannah Yeoh and DCP Datuk Dennis Lim (JSJ Bukit Aman), included prayers for protection, unity, and strength, reaffirming the essential role of integrity in serving the nation
