Events

At Holy Family Canossian College, our Catholic Formation Programmes are essential for the comprehensive development of our students, fostering their spiritual growth and instilling the values and virtues necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling life.  To offer a supportive space for students and staff to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith, our Catholic Religious Formation Team organized various religious formation programmes.  Below are the highlights of our September activities.

1. We are honoured to have the Opening Mass officiated by Rev Moses Ngai, the Parish Priest of St. Teresa’s Church, in the School Hall on 12 September 2025. Father Ngai shared the importance of self-love with our students and how the school is like a family for everyone.
2. After the Opening Mass, the eight girls who had been to a 10-day Canossian Pilgrimage to Italy in the summer shared their experience and insight with all schoolmates. Their sharing about the visits to important landmarks of Canossian history, including the statue of St. Bakhita, Canossa Palace, and the Church of Saint Magdalene of Canossa, was fascinating for the schoolmates.
3. All S6 Catholics joined the S6 Catholic Students’ Formation co-organised by six Canossian colleges in Canossa College on 13 September 2025. They greatly enjoyed the handicraft and game sessions, and found the Mass profoundly enriching.
4. The eight girls who have been to the Canossian Pilgrimage in summer attended the Canossian Pilgrimage Spiritual formation Session and Reunion conducted by the Canossian Sisters, in St. Mary’s Canossian College on 13 September 2025.
5. In October 2025, our Rosary Prayer Groups were arranged by the Religious Formation Team in the School Chapel during lunchtime on Fridays.
6. In November 2025, our Catholic students prayed for the souls of the departed in the School Chapel during lunchtime, focusing on the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
7. On 15 November 2025, ten Catholic students gathered at St. Patrick's Parish to attend their inaugural Confirmation Class.  This session served as the orientation for the crucial religious education programme, designed to deepen their understanding of their faith.
8. On 22 November 2025, our Catholic students from S2 to S5, along with their Catholic teachers, embarked on a blessed and joyful journey called “Pilgrims of Hope” to Cheung Chau. They were grateful to visit Our Lady of Fatima Church and were enlightened by Father Fabio during the formation session.
9. Our Advent Liturgy on 3 December 2025, which included the lighting of a candle, reminded us to serve as a witness to the light of the world.  Let’s remember that Advent is a time of hope and light, and commit ourselves to spiritual renewal.
10. On 3 December 2025, our Catholic and non-Catholic students prayed for the victims of the Tai Po Fire Incident during lunchtime. May the departed rest in eternal peace, and may God guide the victims and all those who suffer into the embrace of His light and peace.
