"Regardless of his social context or formation, it is obligatory for priests to care for the most vulnerable members of society, taking care of their problems." These were the words of Father Franco Mella, a PIME missionary since 1974 in service in Hong Kong, as he emphasized the social dimension of the priesthood. According to reports from the Kong Ko Bao (the Chinese version of the diocesan bulletin), Fr. Mella, for years engaged in the field of social justice, told the Catholic newspaper in Hong Kong that "sometimes the faithful believe that priests should only deal with spiritual things, but the spiritual life is closely linked to our temporal life." |

"Love .... makes dreams come true" is the theme of the Third Youth Vocations Encounter in this Year for Priestly Vocations (in Hong Kong), sponsored by the Committee on Priestly Vocations from the Diocese of Hong Kong, which took place in recent days. According to reports from the Kong Ko Bao (the Chinese version of the diocesan bulletin), the meeting wanted to encourage young people to realize their dreams through Christ's love for them. About 60 priests, seminarians and young people of Hong Kong took part in this meeting, which was headed by Fr. Benedict Lam, Chairman of the Committee on Vocations and Rector of the Diocesan Seminary of the Holy Spirit. A Franciscan monk and nuns from the Congregation of the Good Shepherd also shared their vocational journeys with everyone here. (NZ) (Agenzia Fides 27/02/2010)
