【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2018 年 07月 20 日訊】 ─ 根據慈幼會與各會省長上緊密接觸的既定策略，中華會省新任省會長吳志源神父，也獲邀於任期的首一個星期，會見總會長及總部議員，一如其他八個橫跨歐洲、美洲、亞洲會省的省會長。
在總院團體的五天生活，大部份時間都是與范達民神父、副總會長謝理達神父及五個範疇的總部議員 ─ 培育、青年牧民、傳教、社會傳播及財務，作個人的會面。
與總部議員及其他新任省會長一同祈禱、分享、用膳 ─ 是擴闊視野，與世界性慈幼會團體聯繫的良好契機。有時候，飯桌上非正式的分享，是最有見地的 ─ 好像「在中國的巧克力」（有關大批現時在台灣及很多中國大城市的非洲移民）等的題目。
最後，中華會省新任省會長，也收到總會長共十二項要點的「2024路標」，為使他能正確地管治策勵，要點包括：青年牧民及培育的優先、聖召文化的特別關注、辨別與陪伴、平信徒成為共同福傳伙伴。最後一項就是：「我提醒省會長及其議員，我們託付給你們使命的首項要點，就是要確保在會省的鮑聖神恩身份，以及與總會長及其議會共融一致。」
在離開時，吳神父分享他的感受說：「在聖心總院，我真的感受到家的感覺，以及總會長及各總部議員的支持。」六年的陪伴旅程現已開始；明年六月，吳神父將與其餘九名省會長前往聖心總院，參加為期兩週的「新任省會長課程」。
Five days in the house of the Rector Major
(ANS – 20 July 2018）－ According the already established policy on close accompaniment of all Provincial Superiors, also Fr Joseph NG, new provincial of China, was called to meet the Rector Major and his councilors in the first weeks of his ministry as other provincials from 8 provinces across Europe, America and Asia.
Five days lived at the General House community were dedicated mainly to the personal encounter with Fr. Angel Artime, his Vicar Fr. Francesco Cereda and the five sector General Councilors – Formation, Youth Ministry, Missions, Social Communications and Economy.
Praying together, sharing together the meals of the general council including other new provincials – it’s a good opportunity to start with wider vision and connecting to the world wide Salesian community. Sometimes the non formal times of meal table sharing are the most insightful – like the topics about ‘Chocolats in China’ (= about huge numbers of African migrants now present in Taiwan and many Chinese megacities).
At the end also the new provincial of China received from the Rector Major 12 points ‘Road Map 2024’ in order to keep his service of government and animation in the right direction: Prioritiy of Formation and Youth Ministry, Special attention fo the Vocation culture, discernment and accompaniment, Focus on Shared Mission with Lay as Mission Parnters. The last point spells: ‘I remind the Provincial and his Council, that the first key point in the service we entrust to you is to ensure the Identity of Don Bosco’s Charism in the Province and Communion with the Rector Major and his Council.”
On departure Fr. Ng shares his feeling: “At Sacro Cuore I really feel at home and support from the Rector Major and from all General Councilors.” Six year journey of accompaniment has started; next year in June Fr. Joseph is among the 10 provincials scheduled to participate in ‘Sacro Cuore’ for their two weeks ‘new provincial course’.
