HONG KONG (SE): The Diocese of Hong Kong feted its jubilarians who marked significant anniversaries in the local Church, recognising 14 priests who are celebrating 60, 50, or 25 years of dedicated priestly ministry, as well as 25 women religious commemorating 75, 70, 60, 50, or 25 years since their religious profession.
The event was held at the Caritas Community Hall on Caine Road, on December 8, followed by a special Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception which also marked the opening of diocese’s 80th anniversary year, launching a diocesan-wide invitation for the faithful to journey together in a synodal Church. Cardinal Stephen Chow S.J. told them, “It is good to have you with us… it is a blessing to have you..”
Jubilarians Franciscan Father Efren Ojeda, and Canossian Sister Virginia Ip Wai-yin, who passed away this year, were also remembered.
