2009 PROVINCIAL RETREAT

Sixteen confreres from Taiwan, a confrere working in Mainland and two seminarians gathered last May 11-26, 2009 at St. Paul's Patoral Center in Hualien for their yearly retreat. Fr. Guo, a certain priest from Chiayi Diocese facilitated the retreat by presenting his talks with the aid of powerpoint.

The liturgy for this year's retreat was more organized and prepared due to advance planning by each house. Multi-media aids were used to make the liturgy more alive and touching.

At the last day of the retreat, Gao Xiang, a novice who took his novitiate formation in the Philippines, took his Bon Propos in the presence of the confreres. The event gave a flickering hope for the ageing Province.
