云南故乡 Home in Yunnan

今天,我和太太及另两位教友,陪伴张学礼神父,回云南家乡一游。张神父已经八十岁,在六月二十九日,将是他晋铎(做神父)五十一年了。

他的家乡,是落在离开云南的首都昆明市,约一个半小时车程,名叫小堡子的一个乡村。我们将在六月二十八号到小堡子,宴请当地人数约三百人的亲戚和教友,共庆他的生日和晋铎五十一周年。我们会在那儿逗留三天。

目前云南正值夏天,多雨。请大家为我们这趟回乡之旅祈祷,愿一切顺利,张神父及同行者,身体没问题,有个美好的旅程。

我们今早是乘搭马航早上九点半的班机启程,将在七月二号回到马来西亚,到时再和大家分享旅程的点滴。拜拜。












Today, my wife and I, together with two other fellow parishioners, will accompany Rev. Fr. Leo Chang for a trip to his hometown in Yunnan, China. Fr. Leo is 80 years old and on 29-6-08, will celebrate his 51st Anniversary of his priestly ordination.

His hometown is a small village called Xiao Pu Ze, situated about one and a half hour away by car from the capital Kunming. We will be there on 28-6-2008 to have a dinner celebration with about 3oo of his relatives and parishioners of Xiao Pu Ze. We will stay there for three days.

It is Summer in Yunna and is rainy season. Please pray for our journey and good health of Fr. Leo and all of us there.

We are leaving by MAS flight at 9:30 am today and will be back on 2-7-2008. I shall share my experience with you later when we get home. Bye.
