A new parish is established in Penang Island on the 29 September, 2013 @ 9.00am where the Church of Divine Mercy finally is independent on it's own wings after being under it's mother the Cathedral of Holy Spirit. This sort of an event has not taken place in Penang since 41 years back, and is a historical event for those who have not witness "the establishment of a parish event" before. It was Rt Rev. Bishop Sebastian Francis who gave the approval of the establishment of the Divine Mercy Parish after a letter was sent to the bishop for a parish priest on 15 November, 2012. Therefore today, the 29 September, 2013 the celebration marks three significant events.
- the 3rd Anniversary of the Church of Divine Mercy.
- the Establishment of the Church of Divine Mercy as an independent Parish.
- the Appointment of the 1st Parish priest, Rev. Fr. Martin Andrews Arlando.
Mass and establishment ceremony was lead by his Lordship Rt Rev. Bishop Sebastian Francis. Among other religious present at the event and mass celebration was Bishop Emeritus Antony Selvanayagam, Msgr, Bernard Paul and Rev. Fr. Francis Anthony.
