The Yue Lao Hall will be closed from March 17 for the new hall construction
The "Statues of Yuelao and Couples" were established in 2011 with the intention of blessing the good fortune of worshippers and wishing all lovers in the world to be married. Over the years, the Yuelao Hall has been warmly welcomed by devotees from various places, including local, national, and international visitors. However, due to years of use, the hall's facilities have gradually aged. In response to requests from devotees, the Yuen has decided to rebuild a new hall on the original site of the Yuelao Hall at the Fung Ming Hall Plaza, in order to provide a better environment and experience for worshippers. Construction is scheduled to commence on 17 March and is expected to be completed by mid-October 2025.
During the construction period, the Yuelao Hall will be temporarily closed for worship, commencing from Monday, 17 March until the completion of the new hall. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Please stay tuned and support upcoming activities at Wong Tai Sin Temple.

Caring for the Elderly

In 2016, Sik Sik Yuen launched a five-year “Humanitarian Community Caring Project for the Elderly” mainly to provide appropriate services for elders who lived alone and lacked support. This includes support for elders’ basic living needs and care for their physical and mental health. Social workers from various centres for the elderly assisted in the development of the project and followed up on cases. Since the program started, the number of partner organizations has increased from 12 to 30 and the program has served more than 500 elders. More than 500 volunteers provided help under this program and nearly 10,000 visits and consolation calls have been made.

 

In the summit this year, various partner organizations were invited to review the service situation of 2018-19 and to look forward to future developments. Mr. Hui Wai-kwong, the Chief Staff Officer of the Auxiliary Medical Service at that time shared the service efforts of the Auxiliary Medical Service Cadet Corps at 12 Sik Sik Yuen service units over the past year.


At the meeting, letters of appointment were presented to two professional advisors who joined the project recently, Mr. Hui Wai-kwong and Mr. Ng Ah-ming, as well as three supporting organizations, including the Hong Kong Prostate Foundation, Cercis Music Association, and New Youth Energy HK. The supporting organizations of this project range from government departments, public utilities, professional groups, higher education institutions, districts and uniformed groups, foundations and business circles, and provide collaborative services such as volunteer visits, professional consultations, case referrals and evaluations, health services, and volunteer training.
