- During the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council Meeting on 8th August 2009, Fr Felix Au, as the chairperson of the Commission on Youth & Vocation, expressed the need to split the Commission into two — youth and vocation
- The request was supported by Fr. Simon Poh (now Archbishop).
- Archbishop John Ha (now emeritus) reinforced the suggestion. He claimed that it is important to pay more attention to vocation. He shared that the response by Rome to his five-year report (from his ‘ad limina’ visit in 2008) asks for more fervor in vocation apostolate.
- It was thus proposed that the “Commission for Youth & Vocation” be split into two teams.
Thus, in October 2009, the APC Executive Board decreed that the “Commission for Youth and Vocation” be named “Commission for Youth” or “Kuching Archdiocesan Youth Commission” (KAYC) and focus as such; that a new team be formed with the name “Committee for Vocation”; and that both be directly under the supervision of the Archbishop.
