澳門教區生命委員會與教區天主教教育委員會再度聯同聖若瑟大學，於2024年10月至2025年6月期間舉辦「惜身文化」宗教老師培育課程。本年度課程包括核心和強化基礎兩個班別，吸引了來自14所天主教學校的59位中、高層管理人員及教師參與，其中包括8所教區學校和6所修會學校。核心班共取錄了17位已完成過往三年培訓的學員繼續進修，而強化基礎班則吸引了42位學員報讀認識「惜身文化」。
The Macau Diocesan Commission for Life and the Diocesan Catholic Education Commission have once again partnered with the University of Saint Joseph to offer the "Theology of the Body" Training Programmes for Religious Subject Teachers, running from October 2024 to June 2025. This year’s programmes consist of two levels: the Core and the Enhanced Initiation. A total of 59 participants, comprising middle and senior management as well as subject teachers from 14 Catholic schools - 8 Diocesan and 6 Religious-Order operated schools – have been admitted. The Core programme retains 17 participants from previous years, while the Enhanced Initiation programme welcomes 42 new participants to the Theology of the Body.

「核心培育課程」延續了過去三年的培育和教材編寫進度，進一步深化學員對「惜身文化」的理解和課堂教學能力，主辦方期待惜身教學能夠引起學生對真善美的好奇，更有效地協助他們回應內心的疑惑，從而作出帶來生命的正確選擇。課程在李斌生主教的帶領下，聯同陳乃國博士和何文康博士共同教授更豐富的內容，引導學員補足撰寫各級的「惜身教學單元」，以在各校更多教學階段的宗教課堂上進行實踐。
The Core Training Programme builds on the teaching and material development progress made over the past three years, aiming to further deepen participants' understanding and classroom application of the Theology of the Body. The organisers hope to equip teachers with the ability to inspire students' curiosity about the transcendentals—truth, goodness, and beauty—thus guiding them to make life-affirming choices. Led by the Most Revered Bishop Stephen Lee, the lecturers Dr. Francis Chan Nai-Kwok and Dr. Peter Ho Man-Hong will guide participants in refining their teaching plans on the Theology of the Body, allowing them to deliver these lessons across more school levels in religious education.
「強化基礎培育課程」本年同樣由李斌生主教親自授課，為初涉「惜身文化」的教師們提供了一個全面且深入的學習平台。課程內容涵蓋基本倫理學與身體神學等多個層面，特別聚焦於聖教宗若望保祿二世的「身體神學」理論及其價值觀。通過系統化的學習，學員能夠從天主教的視角重新審視身體、愛情、兩性關係和婚姻等重要議題，從而在校園中更有效地推廣「惜身文化」的理念。
The Enhanced Initiation Training Programme this year, also solely delivered by the Most Reverend Bishop, offers a comprehensive and in-depth learning platform for teachers new to the concepts of the Theology of the Body. The lessons cover basic ethics and key elements of the Theology of the Body, with a special focus on St. John Paul II’s teachings and values. Through a systematic learning approach, participants will re-examine key topics such as the body, love, gender relations, and marriage from a Catholic perspective, thereby facilitating a more effective promotion of the Theology of the Body in schools.
這兩個課程旨在培養出更多具備理論基礎和實踐能力的惜身文化導師，期望他們不僅能夠理解惜身文化的核心價值，更能夠在日常教學中有效地傳播這些理念，引導學生認識身體的尊嚴和價值，為培養具有正確價值觀和健康人格的下一代作出貢獻。
Both programmes aim to cultivate teachers with a solid theoretical foundation and practical skills, ensuring that they not only understand the core values of the Theology of the Body but also effectively integrate these concepts into their everyday teaching. The goal is to help participants guide students to recognise the dignity and value of the body, contributing to the formation of a new generation with sound values and healthy personalities.
