Rev. Fr. Michael Chan Kok Vui, a Priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei, passed away peacefully today while convalescing from a stroke at The National University Hospital in Singapore.

Fr. Michael was born in Tawau, Malaysia, on June 6, 1955. He later joined Opus Dei in February 1983 and was ordained a priest in 1990 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Torreciudad in Spain.

After his ordination, Fr. Michael stayed in Spain to complete his doctoral thesis at the University of Navarre while engaging in pastoral practice.

In June 1991, he was assigned to Manila, where he served as chaplain to a Students’ Centre of Opus Dei at the University of the Philippines. In the following year, Fr. Michael returned to Singapore to help Opus Dei pastorally and in their spiritual activities.

Over the years, he has been involved in the spiritual formation of young people and students, working with individuals from different walks of life to help them live out their faith in their daily lives.

He also served as a spiritual director in the Legion of Mary, a member of the Priestly Life Commission, and the Senate of Priests.

Fr. Michael was 70 years old and had served as a priest for 35 years.

Good and faithful servant, may you rest in peace.
