HONG KONG (SE): Ave Maria Garden just finished “Blooming Hope”, a one-of-a-kind floral exhibition in support of the Jubilee year, on May 19.
Partnering with the Caritas-Fanling Integrated Family Service Centre, the exhibition became a way for many to encounter Catholic faith and culture.
Participating groups included Maryknoll Convent School, HK Rehabilitation Society, Holy Family Parish, university alumni, secondary school, primary school to kindergarten, brought this faith-and-community art celebration to life.
The exhibition welcomed over 200 people. Workshops were so popular that organisers had to double the number of slots and add three more sessions.
Senior florists shared their expertise seeking to nurture a new generation of artistic talent; participants in the workshop experienced the peace and joy of faith in the interaction.
Ave Maria Garden hopes that by supporting people, especially under-resourced sectors like children, caregivers, seniors, it can open up opportunities for them to share their stories via floral art.
Everyone, regardless of age, background, or skill, personal faith that can inspire resilience, creativity and hope in our community.
Ave Maria Garden is a Catholic charity founded to promote faith and community service through the artistry of floral design.
