2021-2022

AP representatives joined an online spiritual program on 2/4/2022. It was both inspiring and meaningful. We have learnt to be serene in the face of adversity and to be calm because we know that God is always with us.

On December 22, 2021, the Apostleship of Prayer scheduled a visit to the Opus Dei Whampoa Centre. All participants had a very fruitful day. We had spiritual input and talked with the priest, Fr. Joseph Buzzo, played games, meditated, took a house tour, and sung Christmas carols. Most importantly, we shared our Christmas joy.

This is one of our meetings. We encouraged members to receive confession to prepare for Advent. Finally, we joined in prayer and observed a moment of quiet.

2019-2020
The Apostleship of Prayer Ex-co paid a visit to the Opus Dei Kam Him Centre on 24/12/2019. We had a wonderful time learning about the true meaning of Christmas through mediation and confession.

The Apostleship of Prayer organized a visit to the Opus Dei Whampoa Centre on 22/1/2020. We learnt a meaningful lesson about storing up riches in heaven.

AP Ex-co members organized the first online zoom meeting under the Covid-19 on 22/5/2020. It was a delight to see everyone. We supported and cheered up one another during the virus outbreak.
