Visit the Root of Shung Tak

By 1L Alex Lei

On 30 October, Our School organised a visit to Ss. Peter and Paul Church in Yuen Long. Although it was not my first time visiting a church, I still felt a little stressed by the solemn and sacred environment. It is truly different from the outside world. There are many stained-glass windows showing the Stations of the Cross, which reminded me of how much God loves us. The sunlight shining into the church created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Some of the church members told us the story of this church and its relationship with Our School. We found out that our old campus is located next to the church!

As Shungtakians, it is important that we know this. Walking along the side aisles, I saw a chapel. When I walked inside, many of the church members were praying the Rosary. After a while, I joined them. While praying, I came to appreciate the faith of Mary and the glorious deeds of Jesus. This made me reflect on my own faith and what I could learn from their example. Afterwards, I visited an exhibition called “The Weapon of Christ.” It moved me deeply because I realised that Christ’s weapon was His crucifixion, which He used to show that God’s love is infinite. It was a deeply meaningful experience for me. Living in such a noisy city, it is very precious that we can visit this church.
