Open Day 2018

The Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Archives held its 3^rd Open Day on 24^th March 2018 (Saturday) from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.  The event began with Archbishop Paul Kwong officiating at the Opening Ceremony.   It was followed by the singing of songs by the St. Paul’s College Alumni Choir and St. Paul’s College Choir.  More than 300 visitors came.  We had a group of volunteers from members of the SKH churches and two Ming Hua theological students.  Guided tours of the Bishop’s House in Cantonese and English were organized which began with a short introduction of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui history by our Archivist.  The main theme of our Open Day was “Towards the Formation of the HKSKH Province”, 1849-1998 as this year is the 20^th Anniversary of the Province formation.  Letters, documents, photos and artefacts from 1847-1998 were selected for our exhibition.  We hope through the exhibits, visitors could have a glimpse of the development of the HKSKH from its beginnings up till the formation of the Province.  Our Archives is planning to publish a history photo book to celebrate the 20^th Anniversary, and some of our exhibited photos and images will go in the book.
