Hitting the Mission Field

by Fr. Francis Ching, CC (程明聰神父)

Fr. Francis Ching was ordained to the priesthood in 2005. He is from Toronto, ON.

In July 2015, I began a new page in my priesthood. I became fulltime giving retreats, missions, and special ministries of evangelization.

It all started in 2014 when I finished my role as the Administrator of St. Timothy Parish in Toronto. In the few months after that, while initially I felt the need to slow down and recuperate, yet slowly I began to experience a lack of zeal and enthusiasm in my parochial ministry. As it was also at that time that I was coming toward the end of my first ten years of priesthood, a priest friend casually reminded me that the honeymoon is over, but the next ten years is the time I should develop in my gifts. That passing remark turned out to be providential. With the help of my brother priests in the house, I quickly discover that... (CONTINUE TO READ)

九月份好歌推介

撰寫:  Ka Lok      編輯:  Helen

日前在執拾東西時，找到了多年前收藏的英文聖樂錄音。這些歌曲自拋下書包後已甚少取來聽，再次聽這些歌，覺得當中有許多的題材很特別，在中文聖樂很罕見，作了一些反省與大家分享。

就以我們熟悉，在八、九十年代風行於香港各堂區的中文聖樂經典歌書──《頌恩》和《心頌》來說，裏面許多歌曲都取材自舊約聖經中的聖詠，幾乎全是歌頌天主..... (按此繼續閱讀)

Love in Sports, Sportsmanship in Love

- Submitted and written by Lance Ma

One of my favorite hobbies is watching sports, because it always gives me a sense of excitement when I see gifted athlete attempts jaw-dropping feats.  It always gives me a rush and euphoria like nothing else because sports competition inspired the limit of human physical prowess.  My association of sports to achievement started when I was a young kid.  My father was a volleyball player in the military...

香蕉雪芳蛋糕

 - 由何淑菁姊妹提供

"雪芳蛋糕最大特色是口感鬆軟，採用分蛋打發的技巧，使組織包有充分空氣而爽口細緻，同時因為以植物油取代牛油，空氣也較易藏於蛋糕之內。此外，這亦使蛋糕的熱量較低。" - 維基百科
