Thank you everyone who joined the MCS Foundation’s 22nd Annual General Meeting last Saturday! It was a truly inspiring day of heartwarming reflections and forward-looking sharing about our Maryknoll community.

The Knoll Project is making wonderful progress, and we were thrilled to unveil the stunning design renderings for the revitalised Convent Building! With a grand opening targeted for late 2027, we cannot wait for you to see the transformation of the convent into a unique, multi-purpose venue that beautifully preserves our heritage. We are calling on alumnae volunteers across all fields to help bring this vision to life. Whether you have expertise to share or time to give, we need you! As we always say: Coming back to school is coming back to heart. Stay tuned for updates on volunteer recruitment!

As two of our Councillors and the Chairperson will be completing their terms in office following this AGM, we took a moment to share a video capturing the beautiful milestones the Foundation has achieved over the past 6 years. It is a wonderful reminder of the impact we can make when we work together. At the same time, we extend a warm welcome to our newly appointed and elected Councillors and Executive Members!

Finally, our supervisors delivered insightful updates on both the primary and secondary sections, and our meeting concluded with our school song, led by the Alumnae Choir.

In Loving Memory of Sister Teresa Leung, MM

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Sister Teresa Leung, MM, who was called to God on September 14, 2026, at the Maryknoll Sisters Center in New York.

Born in Hong Kong on October 21, 1931, Sister Teresa was a proud graduate of Maryknoll Convent School. She entered Maryknoll in 1956, embarking on a remarkable 70-year vocation of compassionate service that included refugee support, parish ministries, family retreats, and counseling.

Sister Teresa shared an extraordinarily deep and lifelong bond with our school community. She returned to her roots to teach at Maryknoll Convent School from 1975 to 1987, shaping the minds and hearts of students in both the Primary and Secondary sections. She continued to nurture these enduring connections by working in the Alumnae Relations Office at the Maryknoll Sisters Center in NY, faithfully serving the graduates of Maryknoll Convent School and Maryknoll Sisters School. She was a constant pillar of support and a beloved liaison, bridging generations of our alumnae with unwavering love and dedication.

We remember Sister Teresa today with immense appreciation for her faith and her lifelong commitment to our Maryknoll family. We pray that God embraces her, and graces her with His eternal love.

Sister Teresa’s funeral will be held this Friday morning, New York time. The Mass will start at 10:30 AM (10:30 PM Hong Kong Time) and will be live-streamed for those who wish to join in honoring her beautiful life and service. You can view the livestream here: https://www.maryknollsisters.org/livestream/

Please keep Sister Teresa and her community in your prayers.
May she rest in peace. 🙏🏻

✨20 Years of Connection: Passing on the Maryknoll Spirit✨

Today marked a truly momentous occasion as we gathered to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the MCS Mentorship Programme. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and laughter, reminding us of the beautiful legacy we are building together.

The afternoon was enriched by heartwarming stories that illustrated the incredible "full circle" journey of our community. It was inspiring to see former mentees return as mentors, ready to guide the next generation. We felt the strength of the lifelong bonds formed over the years—from mentors who have cultivated deep connections to those who have brought mentees from different generations together over delicious meals.

This constant companionship and heartfelt sharing from our mentors demonstrate that our care for our students remains steadfast long after they leave the school gate.

We concluded the day with a beautiful performance of the song “Pass It On” by the alumni choir, followed by a delightful tea session that offered more opportunities for bonding.

To all our mentors, thank you for your dedication and the invaluable guidance you provide our mentees. Today was not just a celebration of the past 20 years but also a commitment to continue passing on the Maryknoll Spirit for many more years to come.

“As one lamp lights another nor grow less, so nobleness enkindles nobleness.”

Grateful for the Past, Hopeful for the Future

Members of the Maryknoll community, alongside Maryknoll Sisters and aspirants, gathered today for a visit to St. Michael’s Catholic Cemetery, followed by a sharing session organized by the Committee on Maryknoll Spirit in MCS Education. This gathering served as a meaningful tribute to the Sisters who dedicated their lives to Hong Kong—a time of prayer, reflection, and deep appreciation for a missionary heritage that continues to shape us.

The visit was particularly significant as our city mourns in the shadow of the recent tragic fire. Surrounded by the history of those who served before us, we reflected on the difficult questions of life and death. The silence of the cemetery offered us a space to process our collective grief and find a sense of peace.

As we transition from Thanksgiving week to lighting the candle of Hope for Advent, this moment calls us to remembrance. We remain deeply grateful for the Maryknoll Sisters’ contributions to our community, and we strive to pass on their spirit of service and love to future generations.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today. Let us carry the light the Sisters left behind, holding onto hope—especially during times of difficulty and sorrow.
