各位教友： 過去我跟大家談論過現今世代信仰跟科技的息息相關。今天我又要借助科技來展現堂區的新面貌 ----- 堂區網頁剛誕生了﹗ 由我首次接觸網絡科技﹐便即時被它的無窮資訊所迷倒。時至今日﹐我仍然對網絡世界的千變萬化､日新月異感到無比讚嘆。 若論到網絡科技的功過﹐大家必會意見紛陳。我們若能提高警覺﹐注意其弊端﹐並善加運用﹐相信網絡科技的確能為福傳帶來無限契機。最重要的一點﹐網絡能廣泛提供資訊﹐以喚起教外人士對基督宗教的興趣﹐其中猶以年輕人為甚。現今各基督徒團體正積極尋求方法﹐以幫助網絡用家從電腦的虛幻世界﹐過渡到親身接觸基督徒團體。 基於上述因素﹐堂區新近建立了自己的網頁﹐用來介紹我們的歷史､活動和見證我們團體所活出的福音精神。對於分隔異地的家人和朋友﹐堂區網頁更兼負了分享生活體驗的雙重意義。 我誠意邀請大家瀏覽堂區的網頁﹐並發表你們的意見。沒有你們的支持和迴響﹐這個新生嬰孩又如何能日漸成長呢﹖ 在此﹐我要衷心感 Stephen 奉獻了他的時間和精力來完成這艱巨的工作﹔而牧民處的網頁有賴「資訊組」整個團隊的努力﹐亦已經運作超過一年﹐在此我要向他們深深道謝﹗ St. Monica’s Church: http://stmonicanp.org.au 華人牧民處 : http://www.chinesechaplaincyparra.org/ 主佑！ 莫靖龍神父 (此乃莫神父致教友書信之意譯，書信內容以英文為準) |

Dear Parishioners: In some other occasions I have spoken to you about the relationship between faith and technology. This time I want to speak to you about a new feature in our parish live. Our very own website! Ever since I was introduced to this technology of cyberspace I have been a devoted fan. It amazes me every day all sorts of new information and how much it has changed since I first start using it. Many of us can have our own ideas about this technology however; the Internet can offer magnificent opportunities for evangelization if used with competence and a clear awareness of its strengths and weaknesses. Above all, by providing information and stirring interest it makes possible an initial encounter with the Christian message, especially among the young who increasingly turn to the world of cyberspace as a window on the world.?It is important, therefore, that the Christian community think of very practical ways of helping those who first make contact through the Internet to move from the virtual world of cyberspace to the real world of Christian community.? That is why, I think, a new webpage for our parish can provide with new ways to spread information about our parish, our activities and the way we try to live the Gospel in our own community in this part of the world. Now through this mean, we can even share this experience with some other friends and relatives who have moved to other areas or who now live overseas. If you have internet access I invite you to visit our webpage, as you know, this kind of technology is always under development and only with your feedback we can make it better every day. I want to thank our dedicated volunteer Stephen, who is giving heaps of his time to make this service possible. The Chinese Chaplaincy has also a webpage running for longer time; it is run by a whole team whose members I also want to thank for the hard work and dedication they put into it. Without further due, please visit our parish webpage at: http://stmonicanp.org.au The Chinese Chaplaincy webpage is at: http://www.chinesechaplaincyparra.org/ Enjoy ! Peace in Jesus Fernando Montano MG |
