Today, I join Jamaicans at home and across the world in wishing Father Ho Lung a happy birthday.

For decades, through the Missionaries of the Poor, you have dedicated your life to serving people in need, including the homeless, the elderly, persons with disabilities and mothers facing difficult circumstances.

Jamaica is grateful for the many lives you have touched through your faith, compassion and service.

May God continue to strengthen and bless you as you carry on your ministry. Happy birthday, Father Ho Lung, and every success with your new show, Sugarcane. God bless you.
