編者的話輔祭:Angela/Patrick |

讀書的時候，曾經這樣寫過「世界是一個大舞台，能站在舞台背後的就已經成功了一半」回想起來也很有趣。現今社會大不如前，雙失青年日溢嚴重，能夠把得定的，也不堪其數。同樣地在天主內，能夠留下的又有多少人? 二十幾年的信仰生歷，可說是從出生開始。在家裡我是排行最大的，自然小不免也有尊橫的時候，也喜歡獨斷獨行，會長叫開會，逢請不到;不請不到。年青人總有反叛的時候，看見今日的輔祭，也感受到自己初初入會的時候，不就是這樣子嗎?每年看著不少新血加盟，他們的成長與我們同濟，大家漸漸也熟絡起來。當一些輔祭為了前途各自離別時，難舒的心情也盡在不言中。在長假中，還能再遇;在感恩祭中，還能共祭，那是多麼快慰。
很高興今次有幸為輔祭會製作新網頁，為了這個網頁，我們各人也攪盡不少腦汁。特別要鳴謝以下各位:剛剛離職的會長陳志誠，多年來縱容我們這班哇鬼放肆；還有常常給我纏擾的禮節師林卓佳和被推選的今屆新會長吳志浩。因為他們都好可憐,常常給我們吾等作弄。最後是未來會長吳志浩，你真的就職了,你要錫住我,做死我沒人幫你寫網頁。 言歸正傳，設計這個網頁的目的，是為了增加我們的透明度，使內外人士能從多方面了解我們。而且我身邊一些朋友，大都不明白輔祭是什麼，有些更從沒有接觸這個名詞。如果我們自己動手做一個溝通的橋樑，相信大家也能清楚了解我們，更拾是也能籍此機會吸納一班小輔祭，使他們從小明白輔祭的存在價值。
世界是一個藍色的大圓球，沒有我們，圓球也不能生長、種植。所以當我們待奉天主時，我們要牢記，麥精牛奶不能沒有牛奶;因為再不是麥精。空氣指數不能沒有污染粒子;因為空氣再不用指數衡量。圓球不能沒有我們;因為我們是土地的鹽;宇宙的光

It has been five years since I joined the church's altar serving club in 1996. I have had a lot of colorful memories in that club. In July of 2001, my parents told me that I was to enroll in Vancouver College in September. When I heard the news, I was confused; I have no idea how I would have to cope in an unfamiliar environment in Canada. But nevertheless, I accepted the fact and realized that it is for the betterment of my future. That's why I was able to get over it within a few days. Leaving home was never a good feeling, especially when I had to depart from my family and altar serving club. On August 26th 2001, I left my sixteen years of living in Hong Kong behind and embraced this alien territory - Canada. For a better educational opportunity, I was to live with my aunt. From that moment on, I had to live with aunt's family & myself and accept a different lifestyle. To me, this presented a new challenge. My first impression upon arriving Canada was one that reminded me of China: for example, there are mostly short buildings in the area. Only in downtown can l see skyscrapers, and there aren't too many of them in there either. The people here are from many different backgrounds & cultures, and fortunately a large amount of them are Chinese. To me, Canada is a huge place, and I'm very interested in it. Every Sunday I'd go to mass, and I don't feel too different from Hong Kong. Before I would be on the altar assisting the priest, but now I would be a parishioner taking audience to the mass. About my school, Vancouver College, it is a big place, and has many classrooms. When I first came here, I had to spend quite some time just to familiarize myself with the school. In this school I was able to meet many friends from different cultures. They are very friendly. We have a lot of fun together, and they also help me with my homework and studies. School life in Vancouver doesn't differ from school life in Hong Kong too much, except that my mother tongue is Chinese, and we speak English in Vancouver. That's why there's a small language barrier between my fellow student and I. But through a lot of practice and studying, the barrier is getting smaller each day. Hopefully one day I'd be proficient enough in English to remove this barrier.
