Sharing Hope: Claretian Macau's Celebrations for the Poor

The Claretian Macau community hosted two uplifting events for those in need this November and December. On November 21, they marked the Day of the Poor with a dinner for 40 economically challenged individuals at the Riviera Hotel Macau.

On December 24, the community celebrated Christmas with the poor. Before the event, Ian brought Fr. Mario from the hospice center, where he was joyfully dressed as Santa Claus, reminiscing about his former home. The celebration featured a Filipino choir, food, gifts, and Italian Panettone for 50 low-income guests. In the evening, elderly residents and families from Mayfair Court also joined the community for a festive meal and treats. These gatherings embodied the Claretian community’s dedication to spreading joy and solidarity with those facing hardship.
