It was only in 1888 that Father Sorin built the first church after staying here for 12 years. Fr. F.P. Sorin died on 26th July (St. Anne's Feast Day), 1907, in Teluk Wang But he was buried at the entrance of St. Anne's old church at Bukit Mertajam.
Through the years, this event attracted the attention of people far and wide. Thus, a tradition that survives even to this day was born.
This led to the Feast Day of St. Anne becoming the occasion for a major annual pilgrimage in which thousands take part from all over the region and even from as far away as Australia.
Although I'm not a Catholic church member but will go to make a wish if I have the chance.
26 of July this year... do you have a wish?

st.anne 节日已过了，热闹的情况没有往年那么恐怖，人群过了，留下猛烈的阳光，还有满街满路满草场的垃圾，比往年还要多！my god,我们的环保意识更本就没有存在国人的脑里！
