Caritas Macau will celebrate its 70th anniversary on December 8th with a Solemn Mass at the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady. The celebration will be presided over by Bishop Stephen Lee Bun-sang and stands as an opportunity to thank God for the work done by the organization on behalf of the most disadvantaged, Paul Pun told O CLARIM.
May the “Year of Saint Joseph,” which ends on coming December 8, not “end,” but serve as an impetus for greater devotion and experience of the Catholic faith on the part of the faithful together with such a high saint, the earthly father of Jesus. If the child God and his Mother, by Divine Will, lived under the care and protection of St Joseph, so let us also seek greater intimacy with him in our lives. May St Joseph grant us this grace, for our journey in faith under his care, for his Glory and Glory of the Holy Church and God the Father.
