Welcome Back message from Fr. Loh

2022 年 3月11日

各位主内的兄弟姐妹，

你可能已知道堂區的所有設施，均可以全面開放。我期望迎接所有教友回來教堂參加彌撒及參與堂區活動。

這些公共衛生指引之轉變乃是我們期待已久的。如果你在疫症期間未能參與彌撒，我鼓勵你在感到合適時回到聖堂。我們已竭力確保你感到安全並受到歡迎。

樞機總主教提醒我們聖體乃是我們在基督內生命之泉源與高峰。主日參與彌撒聖祭乃一週之重點，亦是教友之本份。如可能，當出席參與彌撒聖祭。

明顯地，部份教友對出席參與彌撒，起初可能仍感到疑慮。但你可以放心，我們與公共衛生部門保持同一步伐，目前你仍需佩戴口罩。服務員亦會在場恊助安排座位及回答你的問題。

堂區的彌撒時間如下：

• 星期六 : 下午 4:30（粵語）及 6:30（國語）
• 主日：上午 8:15 、10:00 及正午 12:00（全部粵語）；下午 2:00 （英語）
• 平日彌撒 (星期一至六)：上午 8:00（粵語）
• 平日彌撒 (星期二及星期四)：晚上 7:00（粵語）

最後，感謝你們在這過渡期之耐心，特別是為所有義工在過去兩年的辛勤工作，謹此致謝。我會在四旬期內為各位禱告。

天主保祐！
羅秀彪神父

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

As you have no doubt heard, our churches and parish facilities can reopen at full capacity. I look forward to welcoming all parishioners back to their spiritual home and participate in parish life.

These changes to public health directives have been long awaited. If you have not been to Mass during the pandemic, I encourage you to return to church when you feel comfortable. Please know we are doing our best to make sure you feel safe and welcomed.

Cardinal Collins reminds us that the Eucharist remains the source and summit of our life in Christ. Participation in the Sunday Eucharist is the central experience of the week. It is also the obligation of Catholics, if they are able, to be personally present at Mass.

It is understandable that some may well feel hesitant at first about returning to personal participation. Rest assured, we remain in step with public health and, for the time being, you’ll need to wear masks. Ushers will also be present to assist with seating and to answer any questions you may have.

Our Mass schedule is as follows:

• Saturday: 4:30pm (Cantonese) & 6:30pm (Mandarin)
• Sunday: 8:15am (Cantonese); 10:00am (Cantonese); 12:00pm (Cantonese) & 2:00pm (English)
• Weekdays: 8:00am - Monday to Saturday (Cantonese)
• Weeknight: 7:00pm - Tuesday & Thursday (Cantonese)

In closing, thank you for your patience during this time of transition, and a special thanks to all our volunteers who have worked so hard these past two years. Please know of my prayers during this season of Lent.

God bless you,
Fr. Thomas Loh
