THE PROJECT
|
We are a community of friends – clergy and laity – responding to the call of the Holy Catholic Church for a New Evangelisation through the proclamation of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Convened by the Rev. Deacon Dr Sherman Kuek OFS in 2012, we came together to string a series of apostolate activities to fulfil the evangelisation mandate of the Holy Catholic Church in a concerted way (ref. Canon 216, 1983 Code of Canon Law). We are not in any way a Public or a Private Association as defined by the Code of Canon Law.

the mission
In this demanding time of intellect and literacy, there is never a more important time to evangelise with reason and logic. It is our commitment to reach out to the lay faithful to understand the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church in various ways including apologetics, formation and media production. Dedicated to constant improvement, we aim to put ourselves through a rigorous vetting process, polishing and streamlining our skills that we may never tire in spreading the Joy of the Gospel

PILGRIMAGES ORGANISED
FORMATION-BASED PILGRIMAGES
Pilgrimages are common but it is important to understand these sites from Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. The Splendour Team organises Malaysia’s first and only formation-based pilgrimages with systematic and thorough daily faith formation provided by Deacon Dr Sherman Kuek. Daily Masses are included.

MATERIALS PRODUCED
FORMATION MATERIALS
We produce quality audio, visual and reading materials that nourish the soul. While certainly having theological meat to the content, our in-house theologian, Deacon Dr Sherman Kuek discusses our Faith in an easily digestible way. Materials like these are hard to come by in the region. Hence, we endeavour to make them accessible and affordable.

The compass
The transcendentals of truth, beauty and goodness are intertwined and it is our commitment to incorporate these as the bearing in our everyday lives. There is an innate desire in all of us that longs for these authentic values. It is no wonder our recent three Popes have also emphasised this important quality in proclaiming the Joy of the Gospel. This mantra reminds us that when the transcendentals are incorporated in our thoughts and actions, we are truly pointing towards God who Himself is Truth, Beauty and Goodness.
