Tonight our parish celebrated the Lantern Festival. It was organised by the Chinese Language Apostolate and participated by all language groups.
Parish Priest Fr. William shared his thought by highlighting the legends of the festival especially the passing of the messages inserted in the mooncake.
He posed the question to all parishioners, what is your message to be passed to others, including tonight's theme " communion in the Lord".
Asst Parish Priest Fr. George shared his wonderful experience of celebrating Moon Cake Festival in Taiwan where he learned his Mandarin. He even acted in a play acting as the Chang Er, the beautiful lady that ascended into the moon.
About 500 parishioners of various language groups participated in the festival.
I have to leave the festival early to attend another function thus missed out many great performances by various language groups, especially the youth groups.
我们的堂区今晚欢庆中秋节。这是由华文促进会主办,其他语言也共同参与。
堂区主任威廉神父分享了中秋节的各种传说,特别是关于在月饼内,暗藏起义讯息的故事。
他抛出了一个问题:今晚的庆祝,你要把什么讯息传给他人呢?包括今晚的主题“主内圆满庆中秋”。
副本堂赫神父也分享了他在台湾学华语时,庆祝中秋的趣事。他在一个话剧中,曾扮演嫦娥。。可以想象该是一个很有趣的表演吧!
大约五百位来自各语言组教友参加了今晚的盛会。
我因为还要去参加另一个宴会,只好提早离开,因而错过了许多精彩的表演,包括来自其他语言组青年队表演。
