各位主內的姐妹弟兄,耶穌會中華省很高興地宣布,總會長蘇薩神父任命了董澤龍神父擔任下一任的省會長,他將在2021年11月1日開始這個職務。
 
董神父出生於澳門一非天主教教友家庭,兄弟姊妹共5人,排行最小;並在澳門成長,完成中小學基本教育。在1981年九月接受洗禮,並隨即到台灣升學,攻讀土木工程。

在小學時,看到大姐決定離家修道,加入了聖衣會。受到她的啟發,董神父在洗禮後已開始考慮聖召,並在1990年被耶穌會接納,到新加坡開始初學。跟著有兩年在馬尼拉攻讀哲學,兩年在澳門海星中學實習,並於1996年在香港聖神修院讀神學,完成後在1999年晉昇執事,並隨即到波士頓修讀神學碩士。期間在2000年6月回來在澳門晉鐸。
 
晉鐸後第一個使命是在2001年到馬尼拉擔當備修院主任及副初學導師。從此董神父服務的領域都在靈修及培育方面。在2004年完成了耶穌會的卒試後,便被派到香港思維靜院擔任負責人,並常到大陸帶領避靜,培育靈修輔導等,服務至今。期間在2010年成為省區諮議員,2012年以來也是香港團體院長。
 
請大家繼續為耶穌會中華省祈禱,讓它在新會長的帶領下,謙遜和忠誠地為教會和天主的子民服務。
 
FR. GENERAL HAS APPOINTED FR. STEPHEN TONG, TO BE THE NEXT PROVINCIAL
Dear Brothers and Partners in Mission,

I have been informed that Fr. General has appointed Fr. Stephen Tong, S.J. to be the next Provincial of the Chinese Province. After consulting with Fr. Tong, he will assume his new mission on 1st November 2021.We thank our Lord for giving us a new Provincial through the appointment of Fr. General. And we should give thanks to Fr. Stephen Tong for his generous availability for this arduous and challenging mission. My brothers and partners, your ardent support and closest cooperation with Fr. Tong is crucial for the fruitfulness of God’s Mission through our Province, united among the four regions.

Fr. Stephen Tong was born and brought up in Macau in a non-Catholic family as the youngest son among the five siblings. He finished his basic and secondary education there. He was baptized before he flew to Taiwan for his tertiary study in Civil Engineering in 1981.

In following his eldest sister’s footstep of choosing religious life, Stephen began to consider it after his baptism, and decided to join the Society of Jesus in 1990. He was sent to Singapore to enter the Novitiate, and then studied Philosophy in Manila, followed by two years of Regency in teaching in the Jesuit school, Estrala de Mar, in Macau. In 1996 he began Theology study in the Holy Spirit Seminary College and was then ordained deacon in 1999. Afterwards, he spent two years in Boston to pursue the STL while in between he was ordained priest on June 24, 2000, in Macau.

His first priestly mission was sent to Manila in 2001 as Pre-novitiate director and Socius to the Novice Master. From then on, Stephen’s ministry dwells within formation and Ignatian Spirituality. After finishing the Tertianship training in 2004, he was sent to Xavier House, Cheung Chau, HK to be the director up to this moment, giving retreats and spiritual formation in both HK and mainland China. He has also become province consultor since 2010 and then also the superior of HK community since 2012.

With gratitude and prayers,
Stephen Chow, S.J.
Provincial
