" As for me, my life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time has come for me to be gone. I have fought the good fight to the end, i have run the race to te finish; I have kept the faith; all there is to come now is the crown of righteousness reserved for me, when the Lord, the righteous judge will give to me..." (2Tm 4:6-8)
Our beloved Fr Tobias Chi was called to eternal rest when he completed his journey peacefully at Queen Elizabeth Hospital on 11 September 2010 at 3.45am
Fr Tobias Chi was born in 1924 in Yenki, Manchuria, China. After his priestly ordination at Macau at 1954, he was sent to serve in North Borneo (now Sabah). He retired from active ministry in 2004. He served the Catholic Church in Sabah for a total of 50 years. He was always a zealous servant of the gospel, building the kingdom of God generously without calculating the cost.
We, the congregation of Stella Maris Parish will miss you so much & will always pray for you.
MAY HE REST IN PEACE
STELLA MARIS YOUTH & CHOIR MINISTRY
A Fond Farewell
Joyce Chin is not an unfamiliar name in Stella Maris Parish. Whenever a wonderful hymn is played through the speakers of the church, you would definitely know that it's Joyce playing her favourite instrument; the keyboard. After many years of service to the church, Joyce has to say farewell to all her friends in Malaysia. Due to family and work advancement, she has to leave Malaysia and move to Brunei. No worries, she wont be going alone, she will be with her Husband and her daughter Isabelle. We will surely miss the harmonious melody played during Sunset Masses and the joyous symphony played on Sundays. Apart from weekly commitment, Joyce was also actively involved with the special masses (e.g. Weddings, and funerals).
A fond farewell to Joyce. With best wishes from our heart, we hope that your journey to the new land would bring you closer to the light of Christ. Have faith and be strong mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. You'll always have a place in our hearts. By the Youth Ministry, Choir Ministry, and the Special Ministry.
Take care, SAYONARA, BYE BYEEEEE

Brother Ben's personal thanks.
21 May 2010
17th April 2010 was when the Youth Ministry of Stella Maris Parish Tg. Aru first opened their counter at the entrance of the church to collect the goods that parishioners kindly donated in conjunction with the charity outreach program to Don Bosco. After a period of two weeks, a total amount of RM 5726.00 in cash was collected coupled with some additional contributions in the form of food and drinks (rice, canned food, and raw meat), kitchen-wares, and toiletries. All the goods were packed and transported in a bus and a few private cars driven by parishioners of the parish. 36 Youth including Stella Maris Parishioner (6 private car & 1 bus) participated on the trip.
Upon reaching Don Bosco, the youths were received warmly by Brother Ben and the children of Don Bosco through a series of performance by the children and a speech by Brother Ben. After the presentation of speech the performances by the children at Don Bosco Children’s Home, the youth started a program with the children.
It started out with an ice-breaking to make a friendship bond between the children and the youths. Then other games such as the easter egg game followed after the ice-breaking. After all the games ended, the symbolic event was conducted. The youth leader of Stella Maris, Doddy Jude Anthony handed a pack of rice to Brother Ben as a sign to mark the event of the day. Lunch was prepared smoothly according to plan with the help of Sister Leoni.
Right after lunch, the youth led by Doddy entertained the children with his songs while playing the guitar. Then the youth preceded the day’s program by giving away small gifts to each and every child in the home. Finally the day ended with a prayer led by Sister Leoni. The food donated was sufficient and could fulfil their needs for some months.
The youth was given some positive feedbacks from the residents of the home. Some of them say that this visit was a blessing for them because it has been a while since they’ve dance and sing and had so much fun with the visitors that came to the home. They really appreciate the love, care, and time that we’ve shared with them. For those who have contributed to this program, thank you for your generosity. Please continue to pray for the welfare of the children at Don Bosco Children’s Home. God Bless.
