Dear Friends

Recently there's been a most interesting series of articles on Catholica 
about the history of Catholic education in Australia.
A current article outlines the crisis time of the 1960's and 1970's. 
One of the articles mentions how Rome has always regarded
the Australian Catholic education system as one of the best in the world.

I thought of this yesterday as I went to Our Lady's Primary School in Wong Tai Sin
....and I thought to myself....the Catholic education system in Hong Kong is also very, very good.

317 schools and kindergartens care for more than 200,000 students (in a total HK population of about 7,000,000).
Only a tiny percentage of the 200,000 are Catholics....but just as elsewhere....parents are keen to have their children attend a church-run school

Not an easy job being a teacher these days
....may the Good Lord bless all schools, teachers & other staff, students and families!

On this 20th of the month, Jesus please bless the people of Sichuan
(Please join me in praying for one part of China each day of the month)

My  Bible Plan for today.  Please join me in using this menu for daily energy

Thank you for a prayer

God bless!
