Several volunteers of Holy Family Church and I organized a pilgrimage to Macau to celebrate 100th Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima on October 13-14, 2017. It was planned as a youth gathering but then many parishioners were interested to go, several of them for the first time go to Macau. 
More than 110 parishioners including Fr. Lu, several volunteers and I left Holy Family Church on Oct 13 morning after the special Mass for the Our Lady of Fatima. The Church was full during the Mass. Mr. Liu was the MC for the youth bus and Ms. Deng was the MC for the middle age bus. Fr. Lu led the singing together.
We had lunch at Zhuhai and the walked to the Gongbei Port of Entry. We stayed in a hotel near Our Lady of Fatima Church and a hotel near Cathedral except for two parishioners and I stayed in our convent.
We walked to Our Lady of Fatima Church before supper at a nearby restaurant and then walked back to the Church to attend the Mass. There was a long procession after Mass.
Fr. Lu celebrated Mass at Cathedral for us followed by going to Ruin of St. Paul in a small group. We went back to the hall in the Cathedral for lunch, prepared by several volunteers.
We walked to Bishop Hill. Sr. Emma, OCSO gave an introduction about OCSO in Macau after finishing the prayer. Several parishioners wrote their prayer intention and several parishioners went to buy homemade cookies, religious articles, and T-shirt.
We walked to St. Lorenz’s Church to pray together for a while and then walked to Cathedral. They went to Cotai Checkpoint by bus and then went to Shenzhen. I stayed overnight in Macau but then left earlier by the last ferry to Hong Kong due to typhoon signal no. 8.
