Caritas Church of Christ The King initiated a soup kitchen in 2023 to address the homeless and urban poor issues in Sungai Petani. Today, this project attracts volunteers from other faiths to serve a hot meal to the hungry every Saturday.

In 2014, Church of OMPH saw the need to help the underprivileged children in their studies, the volunteers persisted in this mission for more than 10 years, and today many children are already graduated from university.

After attending a forum on Refugee Crisis, Risen Christ Catholic Church visited the refugee community and decided to assist and advocate for this issue. They started a project during Advent and help the congregation to understand the problems, then they proposed an outreach to visit and help them.

The Church of Sacred Heart of Jesus understood that in order to effectively care for creation, everyone must first have a heartfelt conversion on our failure to care. As a steward of the Earth, a duty entrusted by God to human, we must stop the propensity to plunder and waste and start to protect and care.

As we begin this holy season of Lent, let us take a moment to pause, create space in our hearts, and reflect on our shared journey of hope.

Caritas Penang operates under the jurisdiction of The Titular Roman Catholic Bishop of Penang.
