Reaching This Point is the Limit 去到呢度就係極限 Date: 4 January 2025 (Saturday) Time: 17:00 Free Admission. Online registration is needed. 免費入場，請登記留座。 The performance will be conducted in Cantonese. 表演以廣東話進行。 Departing from their experience of wandering through a Sham Shui Po shopping mall filled with old CCD cameras and DV camcorders, the artists revisit their personal sticky memories through outdated, malfunctioning, and low-pixel electronic devices. They attempt to piece together fragments of the past, present, and future while tracing the idea of death amid the virtual, digital dimension, rethinking the impossibility of nostalgia. 從一次穿梭於堆滿舊數位相機及攝錄機的深水埗商場的經歷作為起點，兩位藝術家透過過時、失靈及低像素的電子設備，重溫黏糊的回憶，試圖拼湊過去、現在、未來的碎片，並爬梳死亡在虛擬數碼維度的存在，以及懷舊的不可能。 Information Source: Videotage 錄映太奇 | eventbrite

Throughout life, there are countless moments when people pray and praise God, seeking solace, blessings, or relief from suffering. Nevertheless, not all desires are fulfilled, leading to various emotions and thoughts—perhaps patience, or maybe doubt and discouragement about hope and love in the world. How should one handle such situations? This concert will present classical and contemporary sacred music to reflect on the meaning and value of seeking, faith, and love. 人生有無數時刻都會祈求和讚美神以尋求慰藉、祝福，或是解脫苦難。然而，並非所有的祈求都能被滿足，因而引起人內心的不同思緒，也許是忍耐，也許是對世間的希望和愛疑惑甚至氣餒。面對此情此景，人又如何自處呢？這場音樂會會以古典與當代的聖樂反思求，信和愛的意義和其價值。 Free admission, free seating. 免費入場，不設劃位。 Approximately 90 minutes without intermission. 演出時間約90分鐘，無中場休息。 For ages 6 or above. 音樂會招待6歲以上人士。 Programme 曲目 Gallus | Omnes de Saba venient Mendelssohn | Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt Reger | Acht geistliche Gesänge, Op. 138: No. 1, Der Mensch lebt und bestehet nur eine kleine Zeit Reger | Acht geistliche Gesänge, Op. 138: No. 2, Morgengesang Reger | Acht geistliche Gesänge, Op. 138: No. 3, Nachtlied Palestrina | Super Flumina Babylonis Gjeilo | Ubi Caritas Chopin | 24 Prelude No. 13, Op. 28 Chopin | 24 Prelude No. 23, Op. 28 Rheinberger | Abendlied, Op. 69 Chilcott | Thou, my love, art fair Lauridsen | O Nata Lux Palestrina | Sicut Cervus Biebl | Ave Maria Performers 演出者 Luff Chorus 拉伕和聲（合唱團） David Wong 黃天寶（指揮） Kevin Ma 馬啓晉（鋼琴演奏） Luff Chorus 拉伕和聲 https://www.instagram.com/luffchorus?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== https://www.youtube.com/@luffchorus Information Source: Luff Chorus | eventbrite

Reflecting through the Lens of the Labyrinth Saturday June 14th 9am-Noon, doors open at 8:45am $25 - registration requested two weeks prior This contemplative program invites you to embark on a journey of inner discovery through the ancient and transformative practice of walking the labyrinth. Through guided exercises and quiet time for personal reflection, you will explore the labyrinth as a metaphor for life’s journey, deepening your connection to your inner self, the relationships in your life, and to the Divine. This program provides an opportunity for spiritual growth, mindfulness, and renewal in a peaceful and supportive environment. Weather permitting, parts of the program will take place outdoors, enhancing the experience with the beauty and tranquility of nature. The practice involves a physical element, including walking and movement, so participants should feel comfortable with gentle physical activity. This program is limited to 10 participants, to ensure a balance of shared moments and individual spaciousness. Whether you are seeking clarity, solace, or simply time to reflect, this program offers a sacred space for exploration and discovery. No prior labyrinth experience required! Our morning ends at noon, but you are welcome to bring a lunch and stay for more conversation together on the patio in the St Clare Garden About Our Presenter Karen Bychowski is passionate about guiding others to explore and live out the greatest purpose, offering both Individual Spiritual Direction (in person and virtual) and Personal Retreat Days.
