Last Saturday, 17 May, the Community of St Albert the Great, in Hong Kong, programmed an Eucharist and a dinner to commemorate the Golden Priestly Jubilee of its Prior, Fr Secundino Vicente Zurdo. On that solemn occasion he was also accompanied by some brethren from St Joseph’s community (Kowloon) and St Dominic’s (Macau).
It was a very intimate, fraternal and touching celebration, during which we gave thanks to God for the gift of priesthood and to Fr Secundino for his 50 years of service and fidelity to the gift received. Fr Provincial had a simple, nice homily in which he referred the biblical readings to the significant moment of the celebration and had a special remembrance of the priests’ parents.
At the end, Fr Secundino thanked everyone as he read also the names of those Dominican brethren who were ordained on that same year 1964, some of them resting already in the Father’s House. The celebration was followed by a fraternal dinner complemented by a cake and the best of wishes.
CONGRATULATIONS, FR SECUNDINO VICENTE, IN THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR PRIESTLY ORDINATION!
