Churches and social service units join hands at building a caring community
Publish Date: 19-Jul-2018
The Diocese of Western Kowloon’s Caring Working Group, the Diocese of Eastern Kowloon’s Committee on Christian Nurture and Pastoral Care, and the HKSKH Welfare Council’s Act of Love project jointly organized workshops focusing on elderly and social care on 5 and 23 June at HKSKH Tseung Kwan O Aged Care Complex and HKSKH Li Ka Shing Care and Attention Home for the Elderly respectively. Over thirty people from nine parishes attended the workshops. Each workshop started with words of counsel from a priest, followed by a talk on a topic in elderly care delivered by a professional. Parishioners then toured the nursing home, and at the end of each workshop, Ms Melissa Luk, service director at the Welfare Council, encouraged parishioners to put their faith in action by serving the community and introduced the different volunteering opportunities at elderly care centres.
