五年前，我們由九龍華仁起步，跨過重重鬧市，步行到香港華仁，見證了”華仁一家為將來”籌款活動(Dream of Wah Yan Campaign)的開始。五年來，多少華仁仔一起努力不懈，只為了籌募更多款項，讓母校能夠持續提供優質教育，孕育更多有知識、肯承擔、能夠立己助人的下一代。
五年後的12月，將會是Dream Campaign突破首階段目標的日子，我們期望召集最多的華仁仔再次走在一起，見證這個歷史時刻，分享達標的喜悅，無分彼此，華仁一家。

Dear Wahyanites,
Greetings from The Wah Yan One Family Foundation! We would like to report to you our progress thus far. As at end of March 2012, we had raised $94 million for the Dream of Wah Yan Campaign. Since 2009, more than $32 million has been appropriated to the two Wah Yan Colleges to implement small class teaching, teacher formation and whole person development activities for our young Wahyanites.
Under the new 3-3-4 secondary school curriculum, our Schools need much more resources to provide extra care and support to help our senior form students cope with the requirements of the new public examination, The Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (香港中學文憑). The Foundation is going to appropriate $7.5 million each year to help our Schools sustain our Dream for our young boys in the next five years. Nonetheless this is not enough, because our Schools have estimated that they need around $13 million each year in the coming years.
2012 Mon Sheong Volunteer Appreciation Dinner was held in a Scarborough restaurant on Saturday April 21.

Introduction to the Series “In Memoriam” --- 壬辰年 清明
In celebrating the Golden Jubilee of their graduation (Form 5) from Wah Yan College, Kowloon, the Class of ’61 undertook a project to update a CD originally produced for an earlier reunion in Toronto in 2005. It attempts to include all relevant information and photos about that cohort, from the time they entered Wah Yan, mostly in 1955, up to 2011, culminating in photos of the Gala Dinner in the old school-hall on November 13, 2011, attended by about 48 classmates. One part of the CD is a series of "In Memoriam." It recollects, mainly from the perspective of the Class of '61, the fathers, teachers and schoolmates who passed away. The project is an act of love and remembrance that constitutes a living link with the past and, hopefully, will form a reservoir of collective memories that live on, for the Class of ’61 and all Wahyanites.
It is now uploaded for a wider audience, the readers of WYKAAO. The files on the dearly missed are fuller in content than similar ones uploaded in the past, and a large number of new files have been added. Others will follow.
The series is the work of Wong Hin-shing and Yu Fong-ying (both ’61). The main source of information is the past issues of The Shield, supplemented by other avenues of information, electronic and printed, such as Fr Morrissey, S.J.’s “Jesuits in Hong Kong, South China and Beyond” and a lot of old photos from Mr Laurence Tam. The help of Mr Anthony Ho in lending the magazines and other ways is gratefully acknowledged. A considerable number of teachers, fathers, and classmates have also lent a hand. To them, grateful thanks are also due.

Mr. Laurence Tam writes, "On Mar 14, 2012, a party celebrating the 85th birthday of Fr Deignan was held at HKU Ricci Hall. I went there with Prof Dominic Lam Man Kit (63 WYHK) to present a birthday gift to Fr Deignan. When we arrived at Ricci Hall, we found that the "Fr Deignan Education Studio (狄恒教室)" was having a study group there with Fr Deignan and students from three schools.
