This year marks the 33rd anniversary of the June 4th Incident. The Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong said that it will not hold another mass in memory of June 4th this year.
The Catholic Social Communication Office stated that due to the concerns of front-line staff and some members of the Catholic Justice and Peace Committee that holding this event would violate the national security law being implemented, it will not hold a memorial mass for June 4th.
According to the diocese, according to the Catholic faith, there are different ways to commemorate the dead, and mass is one way, but it is also very meaningful to pray for the dead in private or in small groups.
On June 4 last year, the Hong Kong Catholic Justice and Peace Committee held a "Morning Mass" in seven Catholic churches.
The stake, which had hosted the June 4th Candlelight Gala for many years, passed its disbandment last year, and many pro-democracy organizations said they had no plans to apply for the rally.
