我在23年前（1992），投入慕道班工作，一年后，进入刚成立的华语慕道班。每年看到慕道者领洗後的喜乐，令我非常的感动及满足。
帮助他人认识耶稣，分享福音的喜乐，是我身为基督徒的使命。
“我们的寿数，不外七十春秋，若是强壮，也不过八十寒暑；但多半还是充满劳苦与空虚，因转眼即逝，我们也如飞而去。。” （圣咏90）
在这短暂的人生中，假如找到了人生的意义及目标，那是一个非常完美及喜乐的事。 人生将不会因劳苦而悲伤，不会因空虚而寂寞。
一群充满喜乐、感恩心情的新领洗者，在19-4-2015 晚上八时正，集聚在一起，欢庆他/她们人生中，最喜乐的事 -- 找到了耶稣，找到了信仰，找到了人生的意义。（歌曲最美丽祝福）
经过了近一年的慕道过程，他们在加影圣堂的慕道室举行了最后一次的课业，正式宣告成年慕道课程的结束。
今年加影圣家堂九位慕道者，在四月四日复活节前夕接受入门圣事（圣洗、圣体及坚振圣事），成为天主教徒，加入教会团体。
当晚除了歌颂赞美、祈祷外，每位慕道组员及慕道者，都带来了本身拿手的食物，与大家分享。过后还载歌载舞，度过一个美丽温馨的晚上。
第22届慕道班结束了，恭喜加影圣家堂华语慕道组又圆满顺利的完成了一年的使命。大家的付出，合作及相亲相爱，是爱主耶稣的最佳见证。第23届（2015-2016）将在七月份开始。
人生是一个不停的旅程。

Twenty two is a number, but one third of my life.
I joined RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adult) ministry of Holy Family Church 23 years ago. A year later, joined the newly formed RCIA Mandarin until now.
I rejoiced in seeing the transformation of new enquirers to Neophytes (newly baptised), sharing their joy and gratefulness in finding Jesus.
"The span of our life is seventy years -- eighty for those who are strong -- but their whole extent is anxiety and trouble, they are over in a moment and we are gone." (Psalm 90)
Life is short but if found your calling and faith, it's "anxiety and trouble" "over and gone" no more.
As a Catholic, it is my mission to share my faith and joy of Gospel with others.
On 19-4-2015, I rejoiced with a group of neophytes, baptised on 4-4-2015 Easter Vigil Mass, in celebrating the conclusion of almost one year 2014-2015 RCIA session.
They were filled with Spirit and Joy.
Besides songs, praises and prayers, each RCIA team member and neophytes brought a dish to the port-luck gathering.
They sing and dance, reveling in love and fellowship throughout the evening.
With the ending of 22nd session, RCIA 23rd will commence in July.
Praise the Lord.
