Pilgrims!

Thanks to the pilgrims of the Millenium group (Hong Kong) that came to Lourdes and the Holyland. They were very generous to help raise funds for the special project that I asked them to consider. They came with Fr Philip Chan from the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, some 34 people. I only had time to see them this morning when they came to the Flagellation Monastery for Mass. Then I led them in the Way of the Cross till we reached the Holy Sepulchre. Since it was the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the solemn Mass was underway. The Millenium group had the rare chance of participating in the procession around the Tomb of Christ with the Blessed Sacrament carried by Bishop Fouard.

So here are the names of the Millenium group pilgrims who donated for a very worthy cause to enable two students to study here in the Holyland:
Mrs Teresa Chan & fmly, Lee Chung Siu King & fmly, Rosalina Lee, Lucy/Maria/Mary/Margaret/David Lee & fmly, Francis/Elizabeth Wan, Cecilia Ho, Wang Lee Ai Ming, Pamela Yeung, Helena Lo, Chan Man Kam, Yeung Kit Lan, Lee Chi Cheun/Chi Yung/Kit Lam, Chan Yuk Hin, Edith Yung, Alice Yeung, Lourdes Chan, Legion of Mary (HK), Charles/Catherine Ma, Wong On Mui, Mo Lam Kuen, Patrick Au, Rebecca Cheng, Lo Yuet Ho, Maria Goretti Lee.

God bless you all and please continue to spread the word around so that we can sponsor the young priest and nun to study the Bible and earn a Diploma here in Jerusalem. Thanks very much!

ps you'll not hear from me for the next 3 days as I'm going back to Nazareth and have a checkup at our Italian Hospital run by the St John of God fathers.
