Nice article. The number of those being Baptized this Holy Saturday in Hong Kong is very impressive. God bless Cardinal Zen.

2,400 people converting at once!
Just think: Add a sponsor and parents (I presume most parents would come for their grown child's confirmation, no?) and that'd be 9,600 people standing in the front of the church.
I'm thinking they must've used a baseball stadium, instead of a cathedral?
And by the way, 2,400 would add about 1% to the size of the diocese's congregation in one year.
