【慈幼通訊社 2017 11 28 台灣台南訊】 台灣(中華民國)唯一的慈幼會學校,首次有三名本地慈幼會士,加入學校的會士團體。院長黎明智神父的團體,多達13名不同國籍的會士中,薛井然神父、黃龍軒執事及陳惠民修士為台灣人。這三位實習會士的臨在,於體育及小組策勵活動中,尤其活現。

 

學校創立於1964 年,為有志於不同專業的青年,提供多樣化的課程,這些專業包括:汽車、訊息處理、電子、機電、商貿、實用汽車維修、汽車科技、實用電機、包點、實用包點暨食品包點業。與食物業相關的學科,為近年所設立,尤其對學生富吸引力。就在一星期前,一名包點科三年級學生,榮獲國家級別的二等獎。全校的教育牧民團體,在11月28日星期一的早會上,為這成就舉行慶祝會。

 

東亞澳區議員賢明漢神父,最近在這所學校的團體,進行兩日一夜的簡短策勵探訪,行程緊湊。賢明漢神父主持了一場早會演說,出席的包括學校核心領導團隊,以及全體師生,他分享了有關我們一位在拉合爾殉道的慈幼會士Akash Bashir(1994-2015)的故事,作為獻身服務他人的光輝典範。

 

與中華會省其他16所學校一樣(除了澳門慈幼學校),台南慈幼高工的校長也是平信徒。首任平信徒校長為盡心服務多年的謝光洲老師,陪伴著他和其他124名在俗使命伙伴的,就是台南慈幼會士團體,尤其是宗教輔導室,以及由一名省會長委任致力於培育台灣在俗伙伴的慈幼會士簡安德神父(Fr. Gary Carbon)。

 

校內逾1460名學生中,只有七名教友;教師及職工團隊,教友比例同樣很低。的確,台灣是天主教東亞區其中一個福傳邊緣地帶。台南慈幼會士團體,連同受托於它的鄰近的聖母進教之佑堂區、人數眾多的多文化外地人士牧職網絡(菲律賓及越南),以及在慈幼大家庭(母佑會、協進慈幼會士及舊同學)的陪同下,服務青年。

Salesian Technical School is shining at national level

The only Salesian school in Taiwan is shining

By Fr. Mathew Tri, SDB

(ANS TainanTaiwan, 28 November 2017) – For the first time in history the only Salesian school in Taiwan (Republic of China) has three local Salesians as community members. Among the 13 members strong international community (Rector Fr. Mathew Tri) are at present Fr. Thomas, Deacon Philip and Br. Paul, all of them Taiwanese. The active presence of three practical trainees is visible especially through the sports and group activity animating.

 

The school opened in 1964 offers a large variety of courses to the youth interested in professional preparation: Automotive, informatics, electronics, electro-mechanics, commerce, practical auto-repair and automotive technology, practical electro-mechanic, bakery, practical bakery with Food & Bakery. Especially the food related skills are the most recently established departments with quite strong attraction among the students. Just last week one of the third year students of bakery department was awarded with a second prize at national level. The whole school educative and pastoral community did congratulate for this achievement during the morning assembly on Monday, November 28.

 

During the short animation visit of the EAO regional councilor, Fr. Klement, the community had an intense two days and one night animation time. With the core group of the school leadership as well with the whole school assembly during the Good Morning talk our regional councilor shared the moving story about our Bosconian martyr in Lahore, Akash Bashir (1994-2015), as shining example of service and sacrifice for others.

 

As all other 16 schools in the China province, also Tainan Secondary Technical School is already under the lay leadership. The first lay principal, one among the long term committed teachers, Mr. Xie Guang Zhou with other 124 lay mission partners are accompanied by the Tainan SDB community especially with the religious department and by one SDB delegated by the provincial as formator of our Lay Mission Partners in Taiwan (Fr. Gary Carbon).

 

Among the 1460+ students are only seven Catholics and also the same situation is among our staff, instructors and teachers. Indeed Taiwan is a one of the mission frontiers of the Catholic church in East Asia. The SDB community of Tainan is entrusted with a nearby parish of Mary Help of Christians, large network of multicultural migrant ministry (Filipino and Vietnamese) as well with the accompaniment of Salesian Family (FMA, Salesian Cooperators and DB Past Pupils).
