The Redemptorist community and the faithful witnessed the diaconate ordination of Br. Anthony Charles Prabhu, CSSR, by His Eminence William Cardinal Goh on 20th July 2024 at the Church of Christ the King in Malaysia and Singapore.
We would like to acknowledge the presence of His Eminence William Cardinal Goh, the Vice-Provincial Superior of the Redemptorist Vice Province Malaysia & Singapore Rev Fr. Victorino Cueto, C.Ss.R., Parish Priest Rev Fr John Sim from Christ the King, and all who were present to witness the remarkable occasion. The occasion marks a new beginning in Br. Antony Prabhu’s journey as a ‘missionary disciple.’ Br. Antony Prabhu is now Rev. Antony Prabhu, C.Ss.R.
We thank God for the gift of vocation in the Church, our parish and the Redemptorist community here in Singapore and Malaysia. We are also grateful for the intercession of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, who has blessed us with the gift of vocation. God bless all of us and may we continue to pray for vocations and for priests.
Find below an abstract on the journey of Rev. Antony Prabhu from an IT software programmer to joining the Redemptorists:
A former IT software programmer has traded his fast-paced world of technology for stillness & prayer in a life of servanthood. Antony Prabhu, a Nanyang Technological University graduate with a master’s in communication software, was ordained a Redemptorist deacon on July 20 by His Eminence William Cardinal Goh, Archbishop of Singapore, at the Church of Christ the King and incardinated into the Archdiocese of Singapore.
Antony Prabhu (Charles), who once helmed a top Singapore tech firm, felt a calling to the religious life and joined the Redemptorists in 2015. After completing his philosophical studies at St. Francis Xavier Major Seminary in Singapore, he entered the novitiate at Lipa, Batangas, and subsequently pursued a master’s in theology (majoring in pastoral ministry) at Davao in the Philippines.
Rev Antony Prabhu, a dedicated and humble missionary, is eager to bring new energy and fresh air to the Redemptorist mission across Malaysia, Singapore, and beyond. He hopes to make a significant impact on the Redemptorists’ mission, embracing a servant leadership approach, supporting, and serving his community, much like footwear supports the feet.
