The Reluctant Saint

The Reluctant Saint is a production by the Redemptorists in conjunction with their 75 years of presence in Malaysia and Singapore. It will be playing in Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre from the 24th-28th in Pentas 1.

It is the story of the young Alphonsus Liguori, a lawyer in Naples. It is the story of how he made a turn from a hotshot lawyer from a noble family to a priest with a love for the needy.

I was truly impressed by the performance and was pleasantly surprised to see a few familiar faces in the crew, especially Viviene and Kerry-Ann!

I am so grateful to Aunty Jo Scriven, for giving me the tickets, with premium seats mind you! :P She was such a delight! And was so happy to meet Rrrrrraph!! and my cousins there as well!

The Reluctant Saint is a must watch if you can still obtain the tickets! More so as the proceeds would be given to the Haiti Disaster Relief Fund. The Redemptorist mission was destroyed during the recent calamity. The production was more heartfelt since one of the major events in the production was the earthquake in Scala, the place St Alphonsus Liguori served for 30 odd years.

I was truly impressed, and I could see that the crew gave it their all! Fr Patrick Massang was so inspirational, and I could see that the Shepherd gave it his 101% to it!

*dunno how to put emotions into words*

Go watch it!!

Bravo to the crew!!! Well done!!
