Father Muhren spent some 40 years of his life serving in Sarawak. Those of you who were Catholics, or followers of the Novena or other services at St Joseph's Cathedral, Kuching in the 70's, might remember this jovial priest with a good sense of humour. He was also very involved in various young people movements that the church organised. After Kuching, he was posted to Sibu from 1979 to 2002.

Father Muhren was a good man, whose service to the community was much appreciated. I know that some of the Catholic followers in our cohort knew him and possibly his advice had positive influence on some of us .
May he rest in peace.

I remember Fr Muhren, when he was an advisor to the Joyful Vanguard movement that I was member of in the 1970s . Fr Muhren was a fun priest to be with.
ReplyDeleteYes , I remember Father well with his thick lens . Always high in spirit in the Lord . Sarawakians were fortunate to have had him and guilded by his great spiritual value of life.
