The tradition to commemorate and thank the contributions of clerics and consecrated persons on this day was initiated by the late Cardinal Wu Cheng-chung, said Cardinal Joseph Zen in his homily.

The retired bishop, celebrating the 50th anniversary of his priesthood, compared all clerics’ and consecrated persons’ devotion to God to the “best-supporting actor” role of the Blessed Mother in Jesus’ Salvation.
