Dear Friends

Last Thursday I retired from school teaching.
No more English classes - unless something drastic causes a change of plans.
In future, more time for prison visits....6 days a week (most days: half day visits)

As I went to my last class,
a 90 minute class for 24 children at Our Lady's Primary School, Wong Tai Sin,
I reflected on 40 years of teaching, and many happy memories came back:

1973-76 at Mazenod College, Melbourne

1976-80 and 1984 at Iona College, Brisbane

1981, 1982 some part-time work in Victoria 
at Moe High School, Newborough High School and Yallourn Technical School

1983 at Mazenod College in Perth

1985, 1986 some volunteer work at Argyle St and Jubilee Vietnamese refugee camps in Hong Kong

1987-1994  English classes at Notre Dame parish in Hong Kong

1995-2001 English classes at Lantau Parish in Hong Kong

2001-2008  English classes in Zhaoqing in China

2009-2012 English classes at Oblate schools & OLPS in Hong Kong

Thank you, Jesus, for 40 years of happy memories.
Please bless all the students, staff, families of the past 40 years!

--------------------

On this 19th of the month,
Jesus please bless the people of Shanxi
(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 these readings for courage and energy

Thank you for a prayer

God bless!
