Simon Au Tak Shing (81) writes, "Clovis Hui (one of my classmates) and I visited 
Fr Farren at the end of April. We stayed at Dublin for 4 – 5 days. Clovis stayed longer than I.
Fr Farren walked with the walking frame steadily. He could walk a short distance even without the frame.
His voice was strong but memory was not as good as before.
Luckily, he does not feel any discomfort caused by the cancer at the moment."

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.
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.

It's been two years since the 'Moments in Time' video, which presents a comprehensive history of Wah Yan College Kowloon from inception to the current days in an interesting yet authoritative fashion, was released. If you haven't had a chance to view these videos (in Chinese and English narration respectively) or would like to see them again, click the above images. For a sample of what Wah Yanites had to say about the video, click here.

Fr Farren was out of hospital on March 17 after the stomach surgery. He is now in the nursing home (Cherryfield Lodge, Dublin) again.
March 23. Fr Farren was able to walk with a walker to the dining area for meals and will go the hospital for a follow up on April 3.
Fr Farren was happy that so many alumni were concerned about him.

在愛爾蘭停留了五天，每天都致電回家跟母親聊聊。母親問：「吃得好嗎？」
「除了早餐，所有正餐都在療養院和神父一起吃。」我答道。
「甚麼？」母親高聲大叫：「老遠飛到歐洲，只吃老人院的食物？」
說實話，在療養院吃到第三天，信心開始動搖。可是，我很想陪神父用膳，算是對他的支持。
有天我問神父：「生病時，會否感到沮喪？」
「基督徒都要揹起十字架追隨耶穌，」神父答道：「十字架有不同形式，有貧困，有逼迫，也有疾病。儘管如此，能夠追隨耶穌，是福樂。」
「你怕不怕死？」我又問。
