HOLYMPICS - 2015

DEY Youth with John Cardinal Tong Hon, Bishop of Hong Kong  
As the name suggests, this is indeed a sporting event but with a difference! In a world where competing teams fight it out tooth and nail, a group of 200 odd youngsters came together for HOLYMPICS - A "holy"sports day, organised by the Diocesan English Youth in Hong Kong.

The event was held on September 9 at Sing Yin Secondary School in Choi Wan, Choi Hung. The theme for this year's annual sports day was a quote from Pope Francis: "Be true athletes of Christ".
Youth in Action!
It aimed to offer the young English-speaking people from local parishes and youth groups a day of fellowship and a chance to live their faith through sportsmanship.
A Pyramid in 30 seconds...! 
Volunteers with the Cardinal 
John Cardinal Tong Hon, Bishop of Hong Kong celebrated the Holy Eucharist and encouraged the youth to build up a strong foundation of prayer life to gain strength and courage to run the race in our journey in faith.
The Organizers had their share of fun too!
