A few things that will be happening over the weekend…

Saturday, finally time to rest after a long week. But this Saturday, I have to meet with Fr. Alex Mendez as I am to be confirmed soon. Confirmation is a sorta rite of passage in the Catholic Church. Our original sin is washed away and receive Jesus when we are baptized, this is when we are officially entered into the Catholic Church. At confirmation, we confirm the vows we took at baptism and we receive the Holy Spirit, the helper that Jesus promised us, just like at Pentecost when the disciples received the Holy Spirit.

Also this weekend, RTHK (the local radio station, who also produces several TV series on Hong Kong) is going to be showing a program about our school. They came about ten years ago to document the change from English-medium of instruction to Chinese-medium of instruction as we were one of the first schools to do this. They came back a few weeks ago to see how things have changed over the past decade and how the Chinese-medium of instruction has affected the school. They are going to be showing this on local channel TVB Jade at 7.30 in the evening. On the day they were filming, I was doing the morning prayer; also, I had a friendly chat with the principal during recess and I noticed that they were filming that quite extensively. There is a chance that I'll be on that program this weekend. How exciting.
