Day for Consecrated Life offers renewed encouragement in promoting vocations PDF Print E-mail
Written by Agenzia Fides - Hong Kong

Those who chose the consecrated life should be a bridge of communion “with intelligence, wisdom, and discretion,” and everyone should work to promote vocations, “not only to the priesthood, but to religious life as well.” These are the recommendations made by Bishop John Tong of the Diocese of Hong Kong, which he made at the celebration of the Day for Consecrated Life celebrated on February 2 in the Parish of Christ the King. According to a report from the Kong Ko Bao (the Chinese version of the diocesan bulletin), over 400 priests and religious men and women participated in the solemn liturgy for the feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, renewing their vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Reflecting on the close bond between religious and the diocese, the Bishop advised those present to place utmost attention in the areas of formation of vocations, the pastoral ministry of the Church, and the immigrant faithful present in the area, especially activating the groups established in each parish for promoting vocations. Lastly, Bishop Tong highlighted that he had “witnessed with joy the active participation of the laity in the life of the Church,” however “the role of priests and consecrated persons is irreplaceable.”
