A celebration was held on October 1 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, coinciding with the feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, patron saint of missions.
Cardinal Stephen Chow of Hong Kong presided over the liturgy, joined by Bishop Emeritus John Cardinal Tong Hon, Father Peter Choi Wai-man, and over 30 priests, including Guadalupe missionaries from across East Asia.
“Faith becomes credible when lived with integrity, when one’s words and actions reflect the unity of heart and mind,”
Cardinal Chow said in his bilingual homily, reflecting on the meaning of mission in light of Scripture.
