Hong Kong Diocese launches Year of Mercy minibus service

The Diocese of Hong Kong has launched a new minibus service as another public transport option, as  part of an initiative during the current Jubilee Year of Mercy.  The 20 decorated minibuses run 10 routes on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. The buses are for public use and they charge a standard fee.  The minibuses are painted with the images of Mother Teresa, St. John Paul II and Pope Francis.  "In the second half of the jubilee year, we will bring the merciful message to society through these minibuses," Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Ha Chi-shing of Hong Kong said May 14.  Bishop Ha said the minibuses are a sign that: "We still have to give a helping hand to those who are in need in our daily life and introduce the merciful God to them."
