Hong Kong (Fides Service) - “Together to discover our identity” was the theme of a formation course organised by the Salesian Fathers in Hong Kong. According to Hong Kong diocesan bulletin Kong Ko Bao the purpose was to help local young people, particularly those who attend Salesian schools, institutes, training centres, to prepare for the next World Youth day in Cologne, Germany in August this year for which a youth pilgrimage is being organised.
Besides young people, priests, teachers and youth pastoral leaders took part in the event. Father Andrew Fung explained the significance of the pilgrimage illustrating the life of Saint John Bosco and he urged the young members of the Salesian family to shine like “stars in the life of other people”, to evangelise their friends following the example of Don Bosco. He told them that World Youth Day is an opportunity to share the faith with many young people who are not believers.
