The Annual Appreciation Dinner of Diocesan Schools for the academic year 2019/2020 was held on the evening of 20 July 2020 at the Metropole Hotel Macao, the event was organised by the Diocesan Catholic Education Commission to express the gratitude towards the members of the management committees, principals and senior administrators of the 7 Diocesan Schools.

Stephen Lee Bun-Sang, and guests included Ms. Xu Ting, Director-General of the Department of Education and Youth Affairs of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Macao SAR; Ms. Vicky Leong Vai-Kei and Mr. Kong Chi-Meng, the two Deputy Directors of the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau; Mr. Wong Ka-Ki, Head of Department of Education of the same Bureau; and Deacon Professor Stephen Morgan, Rector of University of Saint Joseph.
李主教在致辭時，特別感謝各校的同工在新冠肺炎疫情影響下仍緊守崗位，在運作上配合政府停課及復課安排的同時，亦孜孜不倦地照顧學生學習。李主教亦提及教育的核心是「人的工作」，而天主教教育的核心就是讓人看見「天主是愛」，因此作為學校管理人員，必須多關心同工們在工作崗位上是否愉快、能否感受到「天主是愛」。
Bishop Stephen Lee offered his appreciation to all members of the Diocesan schools for their commitment to work, that each of them strove to take care of students’ learning activities even under contingency measures like the suspension and resumption of classes. In his speech, the Bishop reminded that the core of education is about people, and the core of Catholic education lies in showing all people the love of God. For this reason, administrators of the schools shall pay special attention on the wellbeing and satisfaction of our colleagues in respective positions, in order to share the love of God.
答謝宴上，李主教亦感謝了聖若瑟教區中學前校監陳既詒先生，以及即將卸任的聖若瑟教區中學第五校校長胡錦遠博士，同時更向兩位致送心意禮物。
In the event, the Bishop also thanked in particular Mr. Chan Kei I, former Supervisor of Colégio Diocesano de São José, and Dr. Gerald Wu Kam-Yuen, retiring Principal of Colégio Diocesano de São José 5, for their dedication in their services, followed by the offering of a heartfelt gift to each.
