出訪的目的是什麼？ 首先是與台灣的會士們，一同慶祝慈幼會士在台灣服務50周年(1963-2013)；接著到香港向一些團體作出傳教策勵工作，到蒙古探訪青年代表，最後到南韓進行下一任省會長的諮詢工作。 中華會省於2006年慶祝百周年。當地最美好的神恩果實是什麼？ 慈幼神恩確實已植根於此。會省最寶貴的財富，就是殉道者聖雷鳴道及聖高惠黎，然而慈幼會聖德不會止於他們。感謝上主，慈幼會歷年來不斷產生眾多充滿聖德的會士：我們有很多來自不同年代的殉道者，而早期的傳教士，聖德出眾的也有不少，如胡子義神父、林文瑞神父，以及其他早期國籍會士如方廷忠神父，此外很多慈幼會修士，都發揮他們的慈幼精神，貢獻會省。 慈幼會士奉獻生活的見證，亦有助推動很多平信徒，與我們一起踏上傳教使命之路。目前港澳台20所學校的校長幾全是平信徒。香港教區榮休主教陳日君樞機，剛完成了40課網上教理課程，並且每星期兩次到監獄教授要理，這正是最活生生的見證。 東亞大洋洲區最古老會省的傳教策勵工作如何進行？ 在「傳教國家」進行傳教策勵並不容易。即使中華會省在過去20年，已在會院及事業中發展了頗強的傳教文化，但仍需要很大的努力。有關傳教方面的重要資料如「賈利哀勞11」通訊及影片，以及「慈幼傳教日」的資料，已翻譯成中文，這是一個重要的里程碑，然而並非東亞大洋洲區內所有會省，都能作出這樣的成果。傳教義工運動(Fiaccola)，成員來自我們學校及堂區眾多的青年。目前會省只有一名對外傳教士在蒙古服務，然而有一名年輕的初學生，正在辨別他的傳教聖召。 你對中華會省的未來有何看法？ 在探訪香港的培育院時，我感受到那裡的家庭及祈禱氣氛。會院內有幾名接受培育者，而一樓是少懷之家，讓年邁及患病的會士居住。感謝青年牧民工作者的努力，使聖召不斷有來，以及慈幼精神亦高。每天向會省主保聖母進教之佑祈禱，是希望的泉源；一眾慈幼會士、平信徒及為數不多的年輕國籍慈幼會士，他們根深蒂固的信仰，正是會省未來的最佳保證。 Fr Klement travels through East Asia – 1 (ANS - RMG –Roma, 06 November 2013) – The Councillor for Salesian Mission, Fr Václav Klement, in recent weeks carried out his almost final journey before General Chapter 27 (GC27) to a number of countries in the East Asia-Oceania region. In the previous six year period he had been the regional Councillor there (2002-2008). His first stop-off was Salesian China. We asked him to share some of this thoughts. What were the aims of this trip? Firstly to celebrate the conclusion of the 50 years of Salesian presence in Taiwan with the confreres (1963-2013); then to do some missionary animation in communities in Hong Kong, visit the young delegation of Mongolia and finally conduct the consultation for the next provincial in South Korea (KOR). The China province celebrated its centenary in 2006. What are the best fruits of the charism? The Salesian charism has certainly taken root there. Amongst the most valuable treasures in the Province are the martyrs, Louis Versiglia and Callistus Caravario, however Salesian holiness did not stop with them. We thank the Lord for a chain of holiness which has continued through successive Salesian generations: we have a number of Salesian martyrs from difficult times and there is the breath of holiness also from the elderly Italian missionaries, like Fr Gaetano Nicosia, Fr Ernesto Restelli, and other elderly Chinese confreres like Fr Paolo Fong, and so many Salesian Brothers who have contributed their Salesian spirit to the Province. The witness of Salesian consecrated life is also a help in forming the many lay people who share our mission. By now all 20 schools in Taiwan, Macao and Hong Kong have lay principals. The testimony of the Bishop emeritus of Hong Kong, Cardinal. Joseph Zen-Ze kiun – who has just completed 40 lessons online on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and teaches catechetics twice a week in city prisons – is amongst the most visible results. How is mission animation managed in the oldest province in the East Asia region? Mission animation in “mission countries” is not easy. Despite this the China Province over the last 20 years has developed a strong mission culture in its houses and works. The main materials for mission animation like the Cagliero11 newsletter and videos with their material for Salesian Mission Day have been translated into Chinese – a remarkable effort which not all provinces in the East Asia-Oceania region have succeeded in doing. The mission volunteer movement, Fiaccola, involves many young people in our schools and parishes. Currently there is only one missionary ad gentes from the province who is working in Mongolia, however there is a young postnovice who is discerning his missionary vocation. How do you see the future for the China province? Visiting the Formation house in Hong Kong you immediately sense the family and prayerful atmosphere. The house has a handful of men in formation and on the first floor the home for elderly and sick confreres. Thanks to dedicated youth ministry, vocations keep coming and the spirit of Salesians is high. Daily prayer to Mary Help of Christians, patroness of the Province, infuses hope; and the deep faith of Salesians, laity and the few young Chinese Salesians is the best guarantee for the future. |
