SFXC70 Pilgrimage and Study Tour to Rome & Lyon

Dear Alumni,        

Information Session on 10-day SFXC70 Pilgrimage and Study Tour to Rome and Lyon 2025

          Our school, in collaboration with Hong Kong Pilgrimage Services Centre, will organize 10-day SFXC70 Pilgrimage to Rome and Lyon during the Easter holiday from April 12 (Saturday) to April 21 (Monday) 2025.

          This pilgrimage and study tour is one of the celebratory events for the 70th anniversary of our school, with the theme “Brotherhood: 70 Years and Beyond.” The journey will include visits to Rome and Lyon, visiting the headquarters and origins of our sponsoring body, the Marist Brothers. The itinerary allows participants to gain a deeper understanding of the life and mission of St. Marcellin Champagnat, the founder of the Marist Brothers, tracing the historical roots of our school. It will also guide participants to reflect on the meaning of life, nurture their spiritual growth, and experience European history and culture, gaining inspiration in aesthetics and history through the appreciation of Rome’s artistic and architectural treasures.

          This pilgrimage and study tour coincides with the Jubilee Year 2025, during which participants will pass through the Four Holy Doors of Rome – a once-in-25-year-time religious event that holds extraordinary significance especially for Catholics, offering the opportunity to receive divine grace and plenary indulgences.

          We expect to recruit 20-30 students and 10-20 alumni & teachers, with the total number of participants being 40. The fee for the Pilgrimage and study tour is estimated to be around HKD $25,500 – $28,800 for students, and HKD $29,500 – $32,800 for alumni & teachers (with a single-room surcharge of $4,500), final price depending on the total number of participants.

Tseung Kwan O Hospital Discovery Tour

We are delighted to share that our distinguished alumnus, Dr. Kenny Yuen Ka Ye, the Hospital Chief Executive of Tseung Kwan O Hospital and Haven of Hope Hospital, extended a special invitation to 14 of our Form 4 and Form 5 students to participate in the "Tseung Kwan O Hospital Discovery Tour" on November 9, 2024.

During this enlightening tour, Dr. Yuen guided our students through four key departments: the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center, Pharmacy Department, Electronic Chart Diagnosis Group, and Day Surgery Center. This hands-on experience allowed students to explore various fields of study related to healthcare.

In addition to the informative visits, students enjoyed engaging interactive games and exciting role-play activities, which made learning about the healthcare profession even more enjoyable.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Yuen for this incredible opportunity!
