The St. Margaret Hall posted a notice on its Facebook page yesterday, explaining the fundraising progress of the maintenance parish center, saying that it was only 2 million yuan away from the target amount, and also said that "I believe success is in sight."
However, the notice also stated that most of the donations to the faithful belonged to the "more mature age group", while the youth accounted for the minority, emphasizing that everyone is responsible for supporting the parish. .
However, the notice finally stated that it is not to keep the younger generations in line with the predecessors. On the contrary, "the desire to strengthen the sense of belonging to the big family of faith" is more important, and it specifically mentions sharing with "young people who are studying, working, and unmarried."
The announcement has attracted more than 3,700 messages, criticizing the church for using money to measure their minds. They are even more disgusted with the words "sit back and enjoy the fruits" in the text. They think that the management has not understood the situation of young people at all. "Students don't let it go?" .
