 各位主內親愛的兄弟姊妹們：
>
> 大家好！最近教區積極展開問卷調查，兩位主席也很辛苦的呼籲大家填寫。只是不知道大家對這方面的意識到底有多深。  自從疫情開始、教區收入大幅度減少，加上神父年老退休，神職人員極度缺乏。一些敏感人士猜測、教區可能利用這些資料作為未來削減彌撒或關閉堂區的參考。我也希望藉這機會提高大家在這方面的意識。同時考慮如何出力協助。譬如：
>
> 1.  互相提醒填問卷。盡可能用中文，讓他們知道是我們華人團體的成員。
> 2. 電話問候久未在彌撒中出現的教友，並邀請參與彌撒。
> 3. 電話問候很久沒有在查經組出現的朋友。
> 4. 你如何出力可以幫助團體成長。
>
> 相信大家都希望看到有中文彌撒延續。讓我們大家繼續努力吧！
>
> 天主保佑！
