Fr Fabian Dicom has been appointed the National Office Director to spearhead Caritas Malaysia (CM) and the social mission agenda as envisaged by the nine Malaysian archbishops and bishops effective May 15. Bishop Bernard Paul, the President of CM said this in a statement released May 10.
Fr Fabian will be accountable to the Bishop President and is a member of the CM Board. He will serve CM full-time, for a five-year term as the Bishop President’s delegate.
He takes over from Eta Ting, who managed the CM in a part-time capacity as Executive Secretary, filling the gap left by Charles Bertille.
CM records its thanks and appreciation to Eta. CM also thanks Bishop Sebastian Francis for making Fr Fabian available to the Malaysian Church, and for a greater good.
In ending his letter, Bishop Bernard appeals to the Catholics of Malaysia to “be the ‘Good Samaritan’ wherever you are, and wherever you are planted. Work with Caritas Malaysia to ‘hear the cry of the poor and the earth’."
