由教區天主教教育委員會與聖若瑟大學教師專業發展中心合辦的「第二屆天主教教育領航人證書課程」已於二零二五年五月六日下午正式開課。開課儀式於聖若瑟大學青洲校舍鮑思高禮堂舉行，來自本澳十七所天主教學校合共三十四位學校中、高層教育人員參與此培訓課程，象徵學校人才儲備的培育工作正式展開。

Jointly organised by the Diocesan Catholic Education Commission and the Teachers’ Professional Development Centre of the University of Saint Joseph, the Certificate Programme in Catholic Leadership in Education 2025 officially commenced on 6 May 2025. The opening ceremony was held at the Don Bosco Auditorium of the University’s Ilha Verde Campus, bringing together thirty-four middle and senior-level educators from seventeen Catholic schools across Macao, marking the beginning of a new phase in nurturing future school leadership.

簡單而正式的開課儀式由聖若瑟大學教育學院代理院長兼教師專業發展中心主任鄭蘊雯教授主持，首先邀請天主教澳門教區首牧李斌生主教帶領全體祈禱，把課程與所有參與者託付於天主的帶領之下。主教在歡迎辭中勉勵學員認清作為教育者、特別是天主教學校領航人的身分，不單是履行一份工作職責，更是回應天主所賦予的崇高使命。主教同時指出學校領導應引領教師團隊認識教育的意義與價值，並在信仰中尋找方向；惟有開放心靈認識「唯一、至聖、至公」的教會，接受聖神帶領，方能真正成為教區甚至整個教會的重要一員，攜手在主的葡萄園內見證福音。他亦勸勉大家在校園內推動愛的教育，為學生營造身心健康、充滿關愛的成長環境。

The modest yet formal opening ceremony was moderated by Professor Isabel Tchiang Van-Man, Acting Dean of the School of Education and Director of the Teachers’ Professional Development Centre. The ceremony began with a prayer led by The Most Reverend Bishop, D. Stephen Lee Bun-Sang, who entrusted the programme and all participants to God’s guidance. In his welcoming address, the Bishop reminded participants of their identity as Catholic educators and school leaders—not merely fulfilling job responsibilities, but answering a sacred calling. He emphasised that school leadership should inspire teaching teams to rediscover the meaning and value of education through faith, and to recognise their role within the “One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic” Church. Only by remaining open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit can school leaders become active witnesses of the Gospel and contributors to the mission of the Church. He also encouraged all to promote a culture of love in their schools, creating a caring and healthy learning environment for every student.

聖若瑟大學副校長農韻淇博士隨後致詞，她期望每位參加者都能有所啟迪，對天主教教育的基本理念有更深層的理解，並掌握作為學校領導所需的技能與原則。她更感謝教區的信任，讓大學參與提供此備受重視的培訓，並承諾將持續支持澳門天主教學校的專業發展。她並引用已故教宗方濟各有關領導者的教訓，指出學校領袖應具備慈悲、包容與服務的特質，致力建立能滋養學生心靈的校園文化。她鼓勵學員在課程中彼此認識、互相學習，並祝願大家滿載而歸。

Vice-Rector for Student Life of the University, Dr Teresa Loong, then addressed the participants, expressing her hope that each participant would gain new insights into the foundations of Catholic education and develop the leadership skills essential for the role. She thanked the Diocese for the trust in allowing the University to deliver this well-regarded programme, and reaffirmed USJ’s commitment to supporting the professional growth of Catholic educators in Macao. Quoting the late Pope Francis on leadership, she highlighted the importance of compassion, inclusion, and service, and encouraged participants to connect, collaborate, and carry these values back into their school communities.

教區天主教教育委員會主任陳庭鋒博士則表示，感謝來自十七所天主教學校的三十四位教育同工踴躍參與此課程，並感激聖若瑟大學的協辦支持。他指出課程不僅是一項培訓，更是一個難得的平台，讓平日各自忙於校務、來自不同天主教學校的中高層同工有機會聚首一堂，促進交流與切磋。他亦憶述自己於天主教學校成長中遇到兩位很好的校長神父：高天予神父在資源匱乏年代，親自出資及籌集經費，改善學生的學習環境；而袁偉明神父則身體力行，與學生同樂、分擔教師壓力，讓愛與關懷在校園中無聲地流動。這些看似平凡的舉動，正正體現了天主教學校領導人潤物細無聲的牧民精神。陳博士進一步指出，本屆課程汲取上屆經驗與教委會委員意見，經過優化調整，並增強與香港教區合作，邀得香港的修會及教區校長前來分享經驗，進一步提升課程層次。他寄語學員珍惜這段短短八週的密集課程，日程雖短，惟友誼歷久常存，而可獲之信仰與教育價值更將成為永恆的祝福與力量。

Dr Stephen Chan Teng-Fong, Director of the Diocesan Catholic Education Commission, expressed his gratitude for the active participation of thirty-four educators from seventeen Catholic schools and thanked the University of Saint Joseph for its partnership. He noted that the programme is more than a training course—it is a rare opportunity for future Catholic school leaders, often busy with their own responsibilities, to come together, engage in exchange, and learn from one another. Reflecting on his own formative years in Catholic schools, Dr Chan shared the lasting impact made by two exemplary priest-principals. He recalled how Father Cónego José Kou, in a time of scarce resources, personally contributed funds and led fundraising efforts to improve the school’s learning environment—quietly yet unwaveringly committed to the students’ wellbeing. He also remembered how Father Domingos Un Wai-Meng led by presence and example, delighting in time spent with students and walking alongside teachers in their daily challenges, allowing love and care to flow gently and silently through the school community. These seemingly ordinary gestures, Dr Chan noted, perfectly embody the pastoral spirit of Catholic school leadership—nurturing life in ways that are often unseen, yet profoundly enduring. Dr Chan also noted that this year’s programme incorporates improvements based on feedback from the first cohort and the Commission’s members, including enhanced collaboration with the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong. Senior educators from both diocesan and religious schools in Hong Kong have been invited to enrich the learning experience. He encouraged participants to treasure this eight-week intensive journey—brief in duration but long-lasting in impact—offering not only lasting friendships but also enduring values and spiritual growth.

隨後，全體嘉賓與學員一同合照留念，為課程揭開序幕。

Following the speeches, all guests and participants gathered for a group photo to mark the official start of the programme.

本屆課程延續課程的核心設計理念，旨在協助澳門教區及本地各天主教學校培養及發展具潛質的中高層領導人員，使其能在天主教教育理念指引下，實踐有效的學校領導。課程以推動信仰與專業結合為核心，透過有系統的主題設計，引導學員深化對教育使命、領導責任與管理實務的認識，進一步回應本地天主教教育面對的各種挑戰與需要。課程共設七大主題，涵蓋天主教教育的根與本、天主教學校的服務型領導、天主教學校的牧民工作、天主教學校策略與導航、天主教學校組織及領導模式、教師專業發展與進修、以及與辦學實體及校董會的合作，合共39個課時，分13節面授課堂，歷時八週進行。學習內容由理念引領，逐步推進至學校日常運作與團隊領導，協助學員在實務中踐行天主教教育的核心價值，以及思考如何在天主教精神下推動學校的持續發展。

This second offering of the programme builds upon the core principles of its original design: to support the Diocese of Macao and local Catholic schools in identifying and developing potential middle and senior-level school leaders who can lead effectively through the lens of Catholic education. The curriculum integrates faith with professional practice through a structured thematic framework, enabling participants to deepen their understanding of educational mission, leadership responsibility, and day-to-day management. It addresses the specific challenges faced by Catholic education in Macao today. The programme comprises seven key themes, including the foundations of Catholic education, service-oriented leadership, pastoral care in schools, strategic and political leadership, organisational and leadership models, professional development, and collaboration with school sponsoring bodies and managing committees. Across thirteen in-person lessons totalling thirty-nine contact hours, the content progresses from foundational principles to practical leadership implementation, supporting participants in embodying Catholic values within their roles and guiding long-term school development.

課程的導師團隊包括李斌生主教、香港教區教育事務主教代表龔廣培先生、香港教區教育事務主教代表助理(宗教及道德教育)陳乃國博士、教區天主教教育委員會主任陳庭鋒博士、聖若瑟大學教育學院代理院長鄭蘊雯教授、聖若瑟大學助理教授何家輝神父、鮑思高粵華小學校監李益僑神父、澳門明愛總幹事潘志明先生、聖保祿學校校牧羅樂仁神父、聖若瑟教區中學第五校黃建民校長、化地瑪聖母女子學校劉麗妹校長、聖公會（澳門）蔡高中學陳志君校長、香港天主教明德學校許加路校長，以及香港寶血會培靈學校吳于寧校長等。

The instructors this year include The Most Reverend Bishop of Macau; Mr Kung Kwong-Pui, Episcopal Delegate for Education of the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong; Dr. Francis Chan Nai-Kwok, Assistant to the Episcopal Delegate (Religious and Moral Education) Hong Kong; Dr Stephen Chan Teng-Fong, Office Director, Diocesan Catholic Education Commission; Professor Isabel Tchiang Van-Man, Acting Dean of the School of Education and Director of the Teachers’ Professional Development Centre, University of Saint Joseph; Father Albert Ho Ka-Fai, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Faculty of Religious Studies and Philosophy, University of Saint Joseph; Father Thomas Lee Yick-Kiu, Supervisor of Colégio Dom Bosco (Yuet Wah); Mr Paul Pun Chi-Meng, Secretary-General of Caritas Macau; Father Lawrence The Reh, School Chaplain of Escola de São Paulo; Mr Jammy Wong Kin-Man, Principal of Colégio Diocesano de São José 5; Dr. Cecilia Lao Lai-Mui, Principal of Escola de Nossa Senhora de Fátima; Mr Chan Chi-Kwan, Principal of Sheng Kung Hui Choi Kou School (Macau); Mr Carlo Hui, Principal of Meng Tak Catholic School, Hong Kong; and Ms Ng Yu-Ning, Principal of Pui Ling School of the Precious Blood, Hong Kong.

本屆參與學員涵蓋正副校長、主任、行政主管等中高層管理人員，當中亦包括具潛質的前線教學人員，反映本澳天主教學校對教育領導人才培育的重視。主辦單位期望透過課程強化學員的教育視野與使命感，支持他們在信仰及專業之間建立更深連結，進而在校園中實踐天主教教育的價值，為學生及社群創造積極而持久的影響。

The cohort this year comprises principals, vice-principals, section heads, administrative co-ordinators and other middle to senior-level managers, alongside promising frontline teachers recommended for leadership training. Their participation reflects the continued commitment of Macao’s Catholic schools to nurturing educational leaders grounded in faith and service. The organisers hope this programme will deepen participants’ educational vision and sense of mission, strengthen the integration of faith and leadership, and ultimately help them make a lasting, positive impact in their school communities.

第一單元「天主教教育的根與本」

The first module: Foundations of Catholic Education

課程首兩節由主教親自授課，介紹由聖座文化和教育部（於2022年與聖座文化委員會合併前稱天主教教育部）過往頒布的多份教育指導文件，作為天主教學校辦學的重要依據與方向。主教亦指出，社會上普遍接受不時變化的價值觀，與天主教教育理念常而出現矛盾，勉勵學員在堅守信仰與教育使命的同時，以辨識力、信德與勇氣回應當中的挑戰。

The first two lessons were delivered by the Bishop, who introduced the essential guiding documents in education published by the Dicastery for Culture and Education over the years (previously known as the Congregation for Catholic Education before merging with the Pontifical Council for Culture in 2022). He also addressed the growing challenges posed by socially accepted values, which shift over time and often stand in contrast to the principles of Catholic education. He urged participants to recognise the depth of their influence, and to respond with discernment, faith, and unwavering commitment to the mission of Catholic schooling.
