【蘋果日報訊】天主教新任教宗方濟昨舉行首個主日彌撒，本港同屬耶穌會的聖依納爵堂昨有數百名教徒出席，一同為方濟祈禱，祝願這位耶穌會首名教宗身體安康，期望在他領導下團結天主教。有教徒讚揚新教宗形象親切討好，「對佢好有信心」，能為貧苦大眾帶來新希望。有教友也指，由耶穌會辦學的九龍華仁一直不轉直資，正是因為耶穌會有教無類的理念。
This year, St. Patrick's Day falls on a Sunday. The Irish and their friends have planned parties in downtown Toronto to celebrate the day. There will be, as in previous years, one of the biggest parades in the city. People wear green or even painted their faces green. (Remember our green blazers at school?)
90 years ago in 1923, William Butler Years (1865-1939) was the first Irish to be awarded The Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation".
Yu Fong-ying (61) of Vancouver has selected some of his poems including, The Lake Isle of Innisfree and When You Are Old, to share with our readers to enjoy the day.

The election March 13 came on the second day of voting, on the fifth ballot. It was a surprisingly quick conclusion to a conclave that began with many plausible candidates and no clear favorite.
The new pope was chosen by at least two-thirds of the 115 cardinal-electors from 48 countries, who cast their ballots in secret in the Sistine Chapel.
His election was announced in Latin from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to a massive crowd under the rain in the square below, and to millions watching around the world.
"Seventy-one years after the approval of the Society of Jesus by Pope Paul III in 1540 and 55 years after the death of its founder, Ignatius Loyola, the first Jesuits, the Frenchmen Pierre Biard and Ennemond Massé, set foot in what is now Canada, at Port Royal, May 22, 1611. "It is according to our divine calling," Loyola had written, "to travel to various places and to live in any part of the world where there is hope of God's greater service and the help of souls," and in Canada these "Blackrobes," as they soon came to be called, immediately began to reach out to the indigenous peoples in the vast new land. They went first to the Micmacs, next to the Montagnais, then to the Algonquins. They followed the wanderers. They made their way into the forests, along the waterways, across the portages and through the woods..........."
Fr. Robert Wong, S.J. attended our annual Spring Banquet recently and gave us a brief introduction of Jesuits in Canada. For more information, please visit the website www.jesuits.ca.
