開學祈禱禮儀及聖言會創會紀念感恩禮儀 Prayer Meeting for New School Year and Divine Word Missionaries Foundation Day Prayer Meeting

聖言會於1875年9月8日聖母誕辰瞻禮日成立。為慶祝修會邁向創會150周年紀念，本校於九月五日舉行了聖言會創會紀念感恩禮儀，由學校校監張明德神父主禮，並邀請了聖言會兩位準備領受聖秩聖事的執事王守照執事及黎勢海執事共禮。全體師生到禮堂參與，共沐主恩。兩位執事在禮儀中分享了他們的信仰歷程。

另外，學校於9月2日開學日舉行開學祈禱禮儀，由校監張明德神父主禮。為配合今年學校的關注事項「培育學生正確的價值觀以促進學生的全人發展」，禮儀中特別選用了瑪竇福音「塔冷通」的比喻，提醒同學每人均有著天父賦予的不同才能，請同學好好發揮自己的塔冷通，造福身邊的人。

The Society of the Divine Word was founded on 8th September, 1875, also the feast day of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

To celebrate the forthcoming 150th anniversary of the founding of the Society, a thanksgiving ceremony was held on 5th September, officiated by School Supervisor Fr. Johnson, SVD, and co-celebrated by Deacon Peter Le and Deacon Andrew Wang. All teachers and students gathered together to receive the blessings of God. The Deacons, who were ordinated as Priests on 8th September, inspired us with their vocation journey.

Separately, the school held a prayer meeting on 2nd September, the first day of the school year, also officiated by Fr. Johnson, SVD. In line with one of the school's major concerns this year, ‘To promote among students the positive values conducive to their whole person development’, the Parable of Talents from the Gospel of Mark was cited. Students were reminded of the talent bestowed upon them, and that each of them should excel by using his own potentials to bring happiness to his neighbour.
