Who are the Jesuits, exactly? ( Mar 19th 2013, 13:24 by E.H.)
THE election of Pope Francis on March 13th was surprising for several reasons. He is the first pope from South America, making him the first non-European since the 8th century. He is also the only pope to take the name Francis—evoking the humility of St Francis of Assisi, a 12th century Italian monk. Most surprising of all, he is the only member of the Society of Jesus, a religious order dating from the 16th century, to become a pope. But just who are the Jesuits, exactly?
Wah Yan College Kowloon is an aided school with a large campus, whole-school small class teaching, a resulting above-standard staff establishment and a wide range of extra-curricular activities. However, the School receives standard rates of government grants as any other aided school, and therefore it needs additional funds to subsidize the repairs of aging school buildings, the replacement of old equipment and furniture by new ones, and educational activities of students especially those under-financed by Government and other sources. The 2012/13 school year marks the 60th anniversary of the Waterloo Road campus, and the School has launched a fundraising campaign.
WYKAAO has been a keen supporter of the campaign and has raised $11,925 HKD so far for the School. Please click the image to read the acknowledgement letter from WYK.
