By Fr. Lanfranco Fedrigotti, SDB
Hong Kong, 24 April 2017 -- Rev. Fr. Francis Wong Kin Kwok SDB of the Salesian China Province died in St. Paul’s Hospital in Hong Kong on Monday 24 April 2017, surrounded by his relatives, confreres, friends, and parish faithful. He was 75 years old, for 55 years a Salesian of Don Bosco and for 36 a priest.
Most of his life was spent serving youth as a school teacher, school principal, counselor, and friend. In the last 5 years, half of them signed by an ongoing incurable sickness, he served as Parish Priest of St. Anthony’s Parish.
His educational and pastoral service extended to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Mainland. He served in Aberdeen Technical School (1961-1976.1983-1985), in Ng Siu Mui Technical School (1980-1982), in Tang King Po School (1986-1992), in Tainan Salesian Technical School (1993-1999), in Chaochou Boystown (2009-2012), in Mainland (2000-2011), in St. Anthony’s Parish (2012-2017).
A regular writer for Salesian publications, much-beloved by his readers, Fr. Francis was throughout his life a zealous transmitter of Jesus’ Gospel putting to good use the most updated means of social communication. In his long last sickness he was to us all a model of joyful acceptance of God’s providential care. May his life-long witness continue to bear fruit in the lives of all who who were blessed with making his acquaintance. Thank you, dear Fr. Francis! May you rest in peace!

Being in a dreadful need of on-time work in physics the only place I had found to agree to get over it was https://payforessay.net/custom-writing service. To my biggest luck, it turned out to be a great decision! The calculations were correct, and the summary page had all the required material. I am ecstatic of the comments I get on my project. Awesome!
