Missionaries in Formation...

Frs. Ezakias and Jose have completed yet another Semester of Cantonese Classes at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. 2010 has been a fruitful year as Fr. Ezakias has completed his second semseter and Jose his fourth, gradually getting accustomed with the nuances of the tones and complexities of the characters of this tough language. They are also involved in the activities of Christ the Worker Parish at Ngau Tau Kok.

Being part of a Chinese parish provides an added advantage in knowing the people and their culture and of course, an ideal place for practicing the language. After living in Hong Kong, specifically in the parish, for over a year and a half, we are sure of one thing: the people of our parish have tremendous patience, because they have put up with us and our Cantonese so generously and patiently!
