From One Family 2012 Marathon Organising Committee, "Time flies and we are about to set out to take part in the 2012 Standard Chartered Marathon! This is the 5th year we are running, so please Gimus Five!
Our sports teams had a very fruitful 2011 in which many of you helped form a 288-runner Marathon Team, the biggest ever in the history of Wah Yan, and raised $1 million. 4 young members were among the top 10 runners in the 10Km Run 3, out of 6,000 people. The ritual of sportsmanship has indeed driven the whole Wah Yan Community to new heights.

"I was invited to dinner with Fr Deignan last Friday evening. (See attached photo) At the table, sitting next to Fr Deignan was Prof Dominic Lam, President of World Eye Organization, next to me was Mr Edwin Wong, Managing Partner & CEO of SSG Capital Management (HK) Ltd, and on extreme right was Miss Janice Cooper, artist and art promoter. We were all very glad to see that Fr Deignan was fully recovered and in very good spirit. We had a lovely time together.

We learned from Fr. Coghlan that Fr. Deignan fell yesterday, June 9, breaking a hip and that he had had surgery. Fr. Deignan will be in hospital for 2 weeks.
We wish Fr. Deignan speedy recovery.

"Much pain has been caused over the in-take issue, all with the best intentions.
Though not directly addressed to many, I hope all who love WY, will respond and pray for the healing and work for the future in unity of heart, mind and action. A.M.D.G.
I'm copying to HK Jesuits, WYK SMC, my beloved Form 2 (1966), and a few on WYOFF, in Vancouver, Anthony Ho in Toronto..... I think Fr. Deignan won't mind if Monty (WYOFF) and Tom Ho (WYKPSA) ... could circulate this letter around more alumni. We are living the Passion and hopefully the Resurrection of Christ through these events.
Many thanks for all the love for WY expressed in different ways throughout the world." -- Fr. George Zee
