Fr Clement Tsui SJ pronounced his Final Vows on 31 July at the school chapel of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong, in front of Chinese Jesuit Provincial Fr Stephen Chow SJ, and members of the Jesuit community in Hong Kong.

A native of Hong Kong, Fr Tsui entered the Society of Jesus in 2005, after working in the banking industry. He was ordained a priest in 2015. At his Final Vows, he recalled the inspiration he received from the Lord when he was discerning his vocation to join the Jesuits. It was a passage from the Gospel of Mark: “For human beings it is impossible, but not for God; for God, all things are possible” (Mk 10:27).

Now 16 years later, on the feast day of St Ignatius of Loyola, he shared: “I felt consoled when I professed my Final Vows. It was a blessing for me and my community in Hong Kong.”

Apart from his family and friends, Fr Tsui also invited a group of young men to participate in the Mass. “I hope to be an empathic role model for them,” he said, “so more young men may consider joining the Society of Jesus.”

Fr Tsui is currently the School Chaplain of Wah Yan College Hong Kong and the Chairman of the Education Commission of the Chinese Jesuit Province. He is also the Assistant for Youth Ministry in Hong Kong. His latest mission is as Supervisor of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong and Wah Yan College, Kowloon, succeeding Fr Chow beginning September this year.
