It also serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.
2011年魏志立神父( Fr Naylor, S.J. )八十榮壽之際，一群華仁兒童會舊導師基於對神父由衷的敬重，以及昔日美好的緬懷，產生了出版此書的構想。
經過來自不同世代的舊導師整整一年的努力，訪談、撰稿、徵稿、以及整理失落多年的資料，此書終於面世。我們謹以此書獻給付出無私大愛的魏志立神父，感謝他大半生貢獻予香港教育和保護幼小的工作。令我們感動的是他永遠躲在大光燈後，默默耕耘，不領功，不自誇，在過去的半世紀一直堅守信念，讓年青一代擁有自由空間，獨立思維，在自我批判與修正的循環中成長。
當然，此書也獻給在華仁兒童會三十年歲月中曾參與服務的三百多位導師，藉此大家可以把失落多年的回憶碎片，好好拼整起來，描繪出昔日的青春。
