天主教學校教師日於二零零五年四月二十七日下午二至四時假香港紅磡體育館舉行。三百多間天主教學校，一萬二千位教師一同參與。大會主題是「育苗同甘苦，主愛伴我行」。主禮嘉賓為香港教區陳日君主教，教統局常任秘書長羅范椒芬太平紳士，湯漢輔理主教，教育事務主教代表胡路明女士，主講嘉賓葉慶華神父，大會主席康文海校長及兩位副主席，鍾妙嫦修女和陳順清校長。

主禮嘉賓們主持開幕及育苗儀式後，陳日君主教帶領在場萬多位教師一起祈禱。在致歡迎辭時，陳主教表示他體諒和理解老師應付日益繁重的教育工作，並鼓勵他們要積極面對，以基督的精神教導學生。常任秘書長羅太在致辭時，亦勉勵教師們要用積極及喜樂的態度面對挑戰和困難。教師工作極具意義，教育工作者會得到豐厚的回報。

接是師生們合作演出的音樂劇。 配合優美的舞步，帶出「我要做教師」的理想和熱誠，但面對多方面衝擊，難免心情迷惘。終於在家人，校長，主任及同工的互相扶持下，了解到教育工作者並不是孤軍作戰，在天主與我同在的信念下，共同為育苗工作而努力。

繼續的環節由葉慶華神父作專題演講。葉神父以文天祥正氣歌「時窮節乃見」為引子，道出在最困難的時刻，教師們更應該彰顯讀書人的氣節，緊守岡位，互相支持，堅守天主教教育的精神和理念，用自己充滿希望的健康生命，去影響學生的生命。因為希望未必一定要有客觀數據支持，但只要教師自己有希望，便可以有創造力去教導學生，他們的希望亦隨之會出現。葉神父寄語教師們，在香港教育風雨飄搖的時刻，要堅持信念，成為學生的希望。

其後陳日君主教、湯漢輔理主教祝福在座各位教師。教師們並重申承諾會竭盡所能，按照天主教辦學的使命及抱負，為學生創造更美好的未來。最後在全體參與者合唱「挽手同行」的歌聲中，二零零五年天主教學校教師日完滿結束。

    Around 12,000 teachers, principals and supervisors from Hong Kong’s 300 Catholic schools filled the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom on 27 April 2005 for a spectacular afternoon of reflection and learning played out under colourful lighting in drama, dance and song.

    The Official Party performing the Opening Ceremony included Bishop Joseph Zen, the Bishop of Hong Kong, Mrs. Fanny Law, Permanent Secretary for Education and Manpower, Bishop John Tong, Auxiliary Bishop of Hong Kong, Ms. Alice Woo, Episcopal Delegate for Education, Fr. Yip Hing Wah, Guest Speaker, Mr. Michael Hong, Chairperson, Sr. Lucy Chung and Ms. Mary Chan, the two Vice Chairpersons.

    The afternoon drama depicted the plight of teachers whose idealism is eroded by pressure, stress and overwork, especially in the face of caring for students who are often, in effect, abandoned by divorce, family tensions or parents forced to work on the Mainland or overseas. The drama, performed by teachers showing they have talents beyond the blackboard, and students from Rosary Hill School, Yaumati Catholic Primary School（Hoi Wang Road）and Shun Lee Catholic Secondary School－who demonstrated the artistic value of the all-round quality of their education－portrayed teachers as belonging to one family.

    Father Yip Hing Wah came into centre stage at the dramatic invitation of the actors and delivered the key-note speech. Father Yip stressed that “when we engender hope we are self-empowering.” He explained that this aspect of hope is tangible and said that in some ways we can touch our hope. “We give generously to the young and to the poor,” he said. “This is a sign of belief that we can touch.” He noted that “it is life itself that gives hope” and “ life gives the possibility of creativity.”
