Jesuits
Dear Friends of Wah Yan,
I am sharing this piece of shocking and saddening news with a heavy heart, that our former colleague, Fr. Lucas Chan, S.J. had passed away unexpectedly yesterday at Marquette University, U.S.A. Fr. Chan was a lay teacher of our schools in the (1990-1992).
Here is an excerpt from the official communication of the Chinese Province:
Dear Friends of the Jesuit Liberal Arts Project,
You have been our loyal supportive friends for the past years. Your virtual and physical companionship are much valued by us who have been working on the project. Regrettably, we have to inform you that this project will go no further. The decision was made by Fr. General of the Society of Jesus, who is the one overseeing the whole Society. Decision was made after he has consulted in a macro scale, which included our feasibility report, and weighed the pros and cons of different options and models. Although we are very much disappointed by the decision, we have to remind ourselves that our mission is to conduct feasibility studies of the project for the leadership to consider the appropriateness of approval.
