Yesterday, at the St. Bonaventure Church in Tsz Wan Shan, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun led a service for Father Wei in honor of the man he was and the tragic death he died three years ago.
Before the service, the church played a film honoring the life of Father Wei. The film highlighted the work the priest did during his time on earth.
Father Wei was well known for his ministry to the poor in his community, the work he did with the youth, and his passion for teaching others.
The cardinal, who led the service stated that the church hopes to make him a saint one day.
He stated that Father Wei, “led many people to be priests, became integrated with church members and went to very poor places to be with the most loyal people of God; and those people are the simplest as the seeds enter their hearts immediately blooming and bearing fruit.”
