Symposium 文字福传研讨会

In order to celebrate my birthday with my family and Parish Feast Day with my community, I have to miss the Symposium on 'Evangelisation through Print Media' organised by the CDD ( Disciple of the Lord) at the Villa Dominic at Genting Highlands from 26-12-09 to 29-12-2009. However, I was able to make it to the last session of the Symposium which was on plan & action.

I reached the venue at 9:00 am on 29-12-2009. There were 30 priests and laity participated in this Symposium. The presence and active participation of the Superior General of CDD, Rev. Fr. Stephen Ng (right) underscored the importance of print media and direction of the CDD in the new age evangelisation.

Today's sessions saw reduced number of priests whom had to take earlier leave due to their parish and pastoral commitment. However, I still have the opportunity to meet many new faces from Indonesia, Taiwan and Malaysia.

A final report of Plan & Action will be compiled and published within two weeks. All agreed that such symposium should be held annually at different location. Bali in Indonesia was propo

为了与家人共庆我的生日，及和团体同庆圣家堂区主保日，我只好放弃参加由主徒会主办的"文字福传研讨会"。这研讨会是从十二月二十六日至二十九日，假云顶教会拥有的多米额度假屋举行。不过，我还是有机会参加了研讨会的最后一天节目，主要是讨论计划及行动。

我在早上九时抵达研讨会场地。这届研讨会，总共有30 位神父及平信徒出席参与。主徒会总会长黄进龙神父的积极参与，显示了主徒会对这个新时代的文字福传使命的重视及将来走向。

今天是最后一天，有好多位参加的神父们，因堂区事务及牧灵工作，而提早离开，但我仍然有机会认识到许多来自印尼、台湾及本地的新脸孔参加者。

一份最后的计划及行动报告，将在两个星期后完成及公布。出席者都一致认同，这类的研讨会，应该每年、在不同的地点举行。明年举办地点提议在印尼的巴厘岛举行，但须获得该会省接纳。
