MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINISTER

CHINESE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY 35TH ANNIVERSARY

I extend my warmest congratulations to the Chinese Catholic Community on the occasion of your 35th anniversary.

At this significant moment in the life of your congregation, I can only imagine the pride you must be feeling at the achievement of this special milestone.

The foundation of a parish is a venture of great devotion—representing the hard work and sacrifice of many, and their hopes for the faith of future generations.

It was with this optimism that the founders of the Chinese Catholic Community greeted the future thirty-five years ago, and it is with the same dedication and high hopes that your journey continues.

In reflecting on the profound contributions this congregation has made to so many— from spiritual guidance and education, to offering a place of warmth and welcome for new migrants—I trust that you will be inspired and uplifted, now and in the years to come.

The Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP Prime Minister of Australia

Chinese Catholic Community 35th Anniversary - 20 May 2017

To the members of the Chinese Catholic Community of Sydney

I congratulate you on this milestone achievement in celebrating 35 years of pastoral service to the Chinese Community in Sydney.

You have shared the gift of faith by presenting Christ to your younger members and through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. Also, through language classes and cultural education, the Community has supported its members by establishing links between their traditional culture and their experience of their new life in Sydney.

The practical support and encouragement offered by the Chinese Catholic Community to so many in the form of pastoral care of young people, the sick and the elderly is to be highly commended.

I personally thank you all for your service to the Church and wider Community. At a time of great challenges to the Catholic Church, your personal contribution is greatly valued and provides inspiration and energy to those around you.

I send my blessings to you all as you celebrate this significant milestone.

Yours in Christ

+Julian C Porteous Archbishop of Hobart

I am writing to congratulate you all on your 35th anniversary. I hope the Mass and meal are graced and enjoyable. 2 April 2017

I am not sure how long I have been saying Masses at either Lindfield, North Parramatta, ON THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF CCC – SYDNEY Camperdown or Eastwood. I began around 2003 because Father Cyril Hally convinced me to help out. TO:

China is special for Columbans but it was especially important for Father Cyril. He often told me Hudson Chen that it was stories about China that he heard from the Sisters in his primary school in Dunedin, and all the members of the Chinese Catholic Community in Sydney New Zealand that convinced him to become a Columban. We Columbans were founded by Bishop Edward Galvin for China. He was the first Bishop of Hanyang. Hanyang is now part of “I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you, praying always with joy in my the city of Wuhan, the part between the Yangtze and Han Rivers. We will be celebrating our every prayer for all of you, because of your partnership for the gospel from the first th 100 anniversary of our founding next year, 2018. day until now. (Phil 1:3-5) ” Like Cyril, I dreamed of going to China but it wasn’t possible in the 1970s. Still I will never th forget the day I climbed the observation tower in Fanling, Hong Kong to look out over China for I share this Pauline greetings and prayer with you as you celebrate the 35 the first time. I was full of excitement at seeing a large country with such a rich culture and long Anniversary of the Catholic Chinese Community in Sydney. Indeed, it was a history. So, it has also been exciting to work with a Chinese community. privilege to have journeyed with you in the Sunday Eucharistic Thanksgiving, as well as the fellowship thereafter. I have always enjoyed the energy and devotion of your Masses and the meals both in the hall after Mass and during special celebrations. Unfortunately, they haven’t helped me to stay trim and taut. May you continue to keep the alive and share that faith entrusted to you, and enkindle the flame of devotion to the Lord Jesus in your liturgical worship, sacramental life, The weeks I am on Mass for the community I normally regret having to write my homily in catechetical instructions, and community building. advance. But it has been a good discipline. I like teaching and preaching and I think writing them early has normally meant a better homily. At least I hope so. We trust that the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ remain in your hearts, guide and Finally, as I have said many times before, the thing I admire most about your community is that it is lay run. I believe that is the strength of the CCC. It has meant that many people have inspire you in building the church, his mystical body alive today, which you are. served in leadership and it has also ensured that it is “your church”. We priests are invited to serve you but we do not run the community. That is unique. It is a wonderful tribute to you that Praying with you, you have could keep the Chinese Catholic Community alive and vibrant for so long.

Congratulations to you all. I wish the Community and you all individually a long, happy and graced future. Fr. Ruben Areno, SSP Society of St Paul Peace,

Chinese Catholic Community 35th Anniversary

It gives me great pleasure to contribute a message on this significant occasion.

Over the past 35 years the Chinese Catholic Community has provided members of the Chinese community with Christian teaching and outreach. It has also administered programs focused on social and educational assistance.

The growth of the organisation since its founding is testament to its commitment and dedication to community service.

Australia enjoys a strong and growing Chinese community and the Chinese Australian community has played an integral role in the development of our harmonious multicultural society.

Today NSW is proudly home to more than 400,000 residents who were either born in China or come from Chinese ancestry.

Today is an opportunity to reflect on the organisation’s achievements and recognise those that have made it so successful over the past 35 years.

Thank you again for including me in this special occasion. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Yours sincerely,

The Hon. Victor Dominello MP Minister for Finance, Services and Property

慶祝華人天主教會三十五週年

三十五年的光陰可說不短也不長，但比起我們在世的時刻，這是一條極不短的路。

今年是華人天主教會成立三十五週年，正好我和妻子亦結婚了三十五年。反思華人天主教會的萌芽及成長跟自己的結婚很相似。它的成立好像當初和所鍾愛的人締合，大家合力地建立一個理想的家庭。好像我倆經歷生兒育女，供書教學，直至他們成家立業一樣。我們的團體亦經過不少銳變，其中起起落落，離離合合，悲喜參半。

喜的是日見團體壯大，不斷有新家庭及教友加入，新的肢體不斷成立－中區中心、西區中心、北區中心、中文學校、以及高齡之家。服務對象由孩童、青年、成年，更惠至年長者。多年來見證了不同移民家庭的成長及變化，看着自己及他人的孩子，由主日學到上中文學校，交友及成家立室，生兒育女，三代隨著至四代，在主的愛內團體不斷日益茁壯。

然而亦目睹到團體的銳變。正如我倆夫妻相處亦經過不少考驗，兩人意見的分歧，對事情看法各異，都增添不少挑戰和危機。因種種不同的原因，團體經歷了多次重大的變遷，西區中心撥交教區華人牧民處，中區中心回歸堂區，及看見高齡之家和團體內的長者及弟兄姊妹之離別，深深感受到一個家的分裂及家人離開之悲傷。

前年，在天主眷顧下，團體順利地在依士活駐足，在 St Kevin Parish 成立了一個新的肢體。非常感受到主在我們這個團體所作的一切，引領著我們穩步前進。

回望這些主的工作，心裏感觸良多。祂一直耐心地看顧這團體，照顧團體中每一個人，一手編織著一個個不同的人生。然而，人不一定會永遠常在，團體亦不一定要永遠人聲鼎沸，但正正是那一份真切的愛，大家懷著包容的心，好像主耶穌愛我們一樣，不離不棄。子女長大離開父母，但仍會默默地懷念這個家，一聽召喚就趕切回到這個心繫的團體。

有幸當了幾年高齡之家管理委員會主席，服務這個小天地，經多年來和多位長者相處，感受到長者對生命的熱愛及對人的忠誠，他們付予我及周圍的人的關心，使我領悟到何謂愛主愛人，懇切希望能引証這份愛去感染更多人，尤其是未歸信主的，讓主的愛在每個人的心中成長。

團體的大小並不重要，只要心繫基督，信靠天主，把福音用行為廣傳開去，成聖自身，聖化他人，便是好事。祝願華人天主教會代代相傳，結出更多豐美的果實。

I pray that Camperdown every Sunday morning. This was at a time when traffic congestion wasn’t much of an issue– yes I God’s grace will continue to be poured out over the community to grow and stay strong under His guidance. know that it’s hard to imagine!

My early Christian life was very simple – colouring pictures of Jesus and other Biblical characters in Sunday School

and learning how to fold paper aeroplanes. Attending mass usually involved sitting down on the kneeler and using Harold Pon the pews as a table where we played with our toys or colouring books (sometimes even on the pews but don’t tell Youth Group/Young Adult Group Leader the current parish priest that). Yes, that was how my faith journey began!

After lunch in the Church hall, my mother would walk my sister and me (I had a bright yellow back pack at the time) down Parramatta Rd to the local school where we attended Chinese School run by the Church parents. It was a good 20 minute walk which to a young boy at the time felt like Dante’s walk in the Divine Comedy – long and painful.

Even though I may not have valued it at the time (attending an extra day of school!), upon reflection now as an young adult, I truly appreciate the perseverance that my parents imposed on me to study Chinese and also thank- ful to CCC for running the school and thus giving Australian Born Chinese (ABC) kids, like myself, the opportunity to learn about their cultural heritage in a safe and fun environment.

In mid 1990s, CCC established the Western Centre in North Parramatta and the Chinese School was also relocated there. My parents followed and there began a new chapter in my faith journey and new memories.

Not long after we moved there, I joined a newly formed ABC group, “Altar Boy Club”, with a few other young boys whom some would later become my close friends in life. My involvement in Church ministry commenced.

As the number of new young families joined the church, the number of youths increased. The parents saw the need for youth ministry leading to the formation of the CCC Youth Group. It started from humble beginnings GROWING TOGETHER IN FAITH where the Sunday Youth gatherings mainly involved games and bible re-enactments. As we grew older, the format slowly evolved to Church teachings and we had camps and Praise & Worships nights. It was through the CCC Youth Group that I forged many life-long friendships. Friends who not only shared common interest in games or sports St Kevin’s Youth Group/Young Adults Eastwood, or better known as SKYE, is currently in its second year after the but friends who would encourage each other to develop further in their faith journey. establishment of CCC’s Eastwood community.

為什麼我們要辦中文學校？過去兩年間，有機會為 CCC Eastwood中心担任排舞班導師，是我畢生最感欣慰的事情。

每逢主日下午，我帶着期待及興奮的心情，抵達 St Kevin’s 聖堂。

很高興能分享華人天主教會慶祝三十五週年的喜樂，在這裡先祝賀華人天主教會踏進第三十六年，在主的光照及引領下，能繼續克盡己任，成為地上的鹽，世上的光，傳揚天主的排舞班在二零一四年十月開始，舉辦初期，主要為初學者而設。回想第一課開始之時，同喜訊。學們戰戰兢兢驚驚地步入禮堂，大家略欠信心，靦腆地開展人生初次的「舞蹈生涯」。儘管有些同學從未跳過舞，但他/她們勤奮好學，鍥而不捨地學習，甚至休息時間也互相學習華人天主教會中文學校於華人天主教會成立翌年開辦，今年已經進入第三十四個年頭。初砥礪。返家後又重新溫習，絕不苟且。期在 Camperdown 上課，於一九九一年搬到 North Parramatta, 再於二〇〇七年遷到 Northmead, 運作到現在。今年的學生人數為一百三十人左右，跟高峰期的數百人相比，轉瞬間，排舞班己渡過兩個多年頭。當然不能同日而喻。那為什麼我們還要辦下去呢？

我從二〇〇七年開始擔任義務學校總務，在這之前，我是云云家長之一，每個星期日風雨班上的小孩兒如今己長大成人，悠然自得，不徐不疾地隨着音樂起舞，過去兩年，更在節不改地送孩子們到中文學校，但免不了要面對孩子不肯上學的時刻。期間只好不斷循循善日慶典中表演。誘，甚至無所不用其極，務求令孩子走進課室，便可心安理得地離開。每當孩子們問我為什麼要上中文學校時，我的答案是：華裔移民在澳洲生活，不僅要融入主流社會，更要保透過互相學習及支持，同學們建立了溫馨的友誼。除了上課，不時有聚會，交流跳舞心留自己民族的文化傳統，集合東西文化的好處，真是受益不盡。當然，從實際角度來看，得。有些同學更因此成為知交，在其他事情上，互相扶持，彼此照顧。同學們在排舞班找懂中英兩種語言，差不多可以走遍天下了。而且華人天主教會中文學校是悉尼區內少數開到身、心、靈的支持，是我感到最為安慰之事。辦粵語繁體字班，而同時從六年級開始在粵語班加設普通話拼音課程的學校，若學生們努力學習，便可以達到兩文三語的標準。華人天主教會中文學校的存在，就是保存中國傳統文化，傳授中文知識，讓學生們能豐富知識技能，好好為他們的人生作出準備。在此，謹向 CCC 同仁致謝，除了優秀的場地，更獲Eastwood 中心的執委們事無大小的慷慨協助及支持。此外，還有排舞班的義工隊伍勤懇無私的奉献，令每星期的排舞班得以順然而華人天主教會中文學校同時肩負另一個重要使命，就是接觸學生家長，舉辦活動，進利進行。在CCC 這兩年，我深深體驗到這個教會團體的互助互愛，人間有情的典範。行福傳工作。鑑於人手不足及其他客觀因素，目前我們只能夠在上課前集隊時誦念天主經，以及透過電郵及通告，讓家長們得知華人天主教會活動的訊息，從而邀請他們參加，盼望在天主的眷顧下，我們繼續手牽手，心連心地向教會內外更多的朋友，伸出友誼之希望幫助他們邁出接觸天主的第一步。手。

基於以上的信念，加上華人天主教會的支持，義工們的支援，中文學校得以運作至今。希望學校能繼續得到大家各方面的支持，堅持使命，邁向四十週年。

聖經/家庭營的誕生 (2005), 倪德文神父(2006), 韓大輝神父(2008), 周景勳神父(2009,2010, 2014), 陳永超神父(2012), 蔡惠民神父(2013), 麥英健神父(2015)和廖雅倫神父(2016)。 1991年正值是香港人來澳洲的移民潮，CCC 有感需要在悉尼西部多設一個彌撒中心，以方便不少在山區聚居的新移民。感謝天主的眷顧與安排，我們有幸得到巴拉瑪打教區第一任親愛的弟兄姊妹，福傳活動是需要有創意與夢想的，如是天主喜悅的，只要我們願意行出主教 Bishop Bead Heather 的協助及支持，北巴拉瑪打的聖莫尼加堂便成為我們在西區新第一步，天主一定會成全一切，聖經/家庭營就是最佳見證，期望大家藉天主的恩寵，繼續的彌撒中心，而香港時任的胡樞機亦非常擁護這新的計劃，竟派了閻德龍神父來悉尼半努力，加油! 年，作為我們西區中心的「開荒牛」，事就這樣成了。

在這半年中，除彌撒外，閻神父主持了不少信仰活動，我內心非常欣慰之餘，而一直在我 Teresa Lau 心底的切望又重新湧現出來，那就是看見很多基督教朋友每年都有定期的舉家宿營信仰活動，為什麼我們不能？這主要是因為我們缺乏會說廣東話的神師，而當時既然閻神父留下有一段較長的時間，這問題便解決了。於是我便將這一直以來的夢想對閻神父及當時的會長 Hudson 提出，很欣賞 Hudson 辦事的魄力與果斷，他很快便聯絡到來自香港的聖保祿修女們，而她們竟又慷慨地願意將其在西郊 Moss Vale 的寄宿學校，在聖誕暑假期間借出慈愛樂園 (Happy Family Group) 是在2008年成立，初期是為年青人設立的一個聚會。成給我們作為場地，事就這樣成了。立三個月後增加了成人聖言分享小組，到現在已差不多十年了。我們大部分的成員都是 CCC會員，並同時積極參與CCC各區中心的廣東話彌撒。第一屆聖經營於91年聖誕節後的一天開始，共三日兩夜，當時參加者只有二、三十人，兒童亦只有七、八個，我們亦有幸得到玫瑰修女(Sr. Rosanne Sinclair)幫忙照顧及帶領這這段日子，感謝 CCC 的努力，使我們有機會參與廣東話彌撒，教會活動，如中秋節慶祝晚班五至十歲的小伙子。成人的講座就在St. Mary 宿舍樓下的客廳舉行，有人坐在沙發上，會、復活節聖週禮儀、神父退省等等，獲益良多。有人席地而坐，無拘無束，加上閻神父一向風趣的講道，使那幾天的氣氛非常舒暢歡樂，

靈性得到充沛之餘，肉體的飽飫也得到一班熱心的弟兄姊妹(不乏有大廚經驗的)照顧三在過去35年, CCC 努力不邂提供我們一個有親切感的廣東話彌撒，它願意分享資源，為不餐，還有早午茶點。大家分工合作，有入營前購物的，有餐前洗洗切切的，正式下廚的，同的華人天主教團體提供一個平台，使大家聚集在一起，互相支持宗教活動。並且向本地膳後清理的.....總之，工作雖繁重，要很多安排，但大家一起合作得非常愉快，有說有教區介紹中國文化，推廣廣東話彌撒，向華人社區廣傳福音，不遺餘力。笑，一切輕鬆渡過，感謝主，讚美主!

在此祝願華人天主教會繼續善用天主的恩典，使更多人成為世上的鹽和光。感謝聖保祿修女們的不斷支持及每年參加者極好的迴嚮，結果一年復一年，聖經營竟沒有

間斷地舉辨到現在，已一共有二十六年的歷史了。參加人數曾一度高達二百多人，分成人、青年和兒童三大組別，亦由聖經營改稱為家庭營，因後者更為貼切，其中不乏有人在參加後加入慕道班，成為教友。而我亦一共參加了二十四屆，看到因經驗的累積，一年比一年辦得好，加上這麼多年來，華人團體的增長，已不斷有新的團體誕生或分支出來，所以家庭營亦成為一年一度不同團體弟兄姊妹聚首的機會，去分享友誼和信仰。

在此，我衷心感謝過往曾對聖經/家庭營支持及付出努力的弟兄姊妹、聖保祿修女們、及尤其所有曾帶領我們的神師，他/她們計有：閻德龍神父(1991,1995,1996,1997), 楊鳴章神父(1992,1993,2002), 關俊棠神父(1994), 馬仕冲神父(1998), 林祖明/呂煥卿修女 (1999)，吳岳清神父(2000,2001,2003), 關傑棠神父(2004,2007,2011), 梁潔芬修女

教友分享「相」當年 Sharing Holy Week 聖周 Memories

喜聞 CCC 慶祝三十五週年，回頭看看自己廿八年前帶著二個小女兒從香港移民來澳洲雪梨，人生路不熟，認識的人只有三個，都是以前的護士同學。其中一位為我們做了一件善事，就是在主日帶了我們去 Camperdown 的 St Joseph Church，參加說廣東話的華人教友團體 CCC。我說她對我們做了件善事，是因為在這團體內，我認識了今天大部分的朋友，很多成了莫逆之交。天主在中間帶領着我開放自己，從一個只顧自己的基督徒，到今天能 1998 2005 2006 與一大班兄弟姊妹同行的教徒，都拜這團體所賜！

我本人的經歷相信也是很多朋友的寫照。移民初期每主日到教堂參與彌撒，下午則送孩子上中文學校，家長組織查經班，從中互相交往，發展友誼圈。今天孩子們都長大成家，感安慰的是大部分都是愛主愛人的有為青年。

差不多廿年前我們在所屬堂區 Kingsgrove 成立了華人團體，積極參與堂區事務，亦得到 2008 2012 2012 本堂神父以及教友們的支持和包容，我們團體在質與量方面都在穩步成長。雖然我們屬於堂區，但卻與CCC保持緊密聯繫，例如每年年終的聖經營我們都踴躍投入參加。CCC就好像我們的大哥哥一樣，從團體初成立時不斷給予支持，舉辦活動一定預留我們的一份。我們有什麼問題，CCC 大哥大姐們都隨時幫助解決。總之就是多得 CCC 不少！感謝，感恩！

在這裏再一次恭喜，恭賀 CCC 三十五週年之喜，願主聖神不斷帶領，讓主內兄弟姐妹在團 2013 2013 2014 體內共融合一，為傳福音發熱發光！
