The Canadian Chinese Marriage Enrichment Association’s Tenth Anniversary<br/><br/>

The Canadian Chinese Marriage Enrichment Association commemorated its tenth anniversary on August 6 in the Don Bosco Hall. Our preceding parish priest Fr. Paul Tang, as well as Msgr. Kiang, Dr. M.Y. Yang and more than two hundred guests participated in the celebration.<br/><br/>

While visiting Toronto from New Jersey ten years ago, Msgr. Kiang suggested the idea of organizing a marriage enrichment camp to Fr. Tang. Fr. Tang immediately concurred and at the same time requested Msgr. Kiang’s help. Msgr. Kiang was able to invite Dr. M.Y. Yang, a family psychologist from United States, to host the first annual “Marriage Weekend Seminar”. The first couple invited to lead the association were Jimmy and Margaret Lee who are well known by all of us. Association members still call them “ancestors of the association” to this day. Today the association’s directors are Ringo and Barbara Wu.<br/><br/>

All family members must collaborate in order to build a harmonious family. They must also incessantly create new beginnings, and to strive to be uncritical, trusting and respectful in order to build a “loving family”.<br/><br/>

On August 15, we celebrate Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Let us pray to our mother in heaven so that all families would look up to the Holy Family as their leading example.
