各位親愛的修女、校友、貴賓、文藻的工作夥伴及親友，大家好：

　
　　今天是文藻一年一度聖誕共融的日子，是我們要對各位表達感謝及祝福的時刻，雖然只是薄酒佳餚，但是我們對各位在文藻2017年所有進步上的付出是無限感激的，尤其2017年文藻在招生、財務、國際交流、產學發展、、、等各方面都是有史以來最好、最穩健的時候。

　　特別值得提的是，我們的產學及各種校外補助高達3.44億，這是多年來難得有的佳績，這要非常感謝大家的辛勞與付出！除此之外，在過去的這一年，學校也成立了校務研究辦公室還有正在新建的多功能大樓以及7月成立文藻校友總會；同時，我們也連續三年獲得生命教育績優人員獎勵，今年還推動精進本校英語文教育及人文教育計畫，並將全人學院改名為「人文教育學院」，上個月也設立原住民資源發展中心，同時也通過成立了東南亞碩士學位學程、韓文系及東南亞學系，預訂明後年招生。

　　其他得獎辦學績效也包含：《Cheers快樂工作人雜誌》「具有國際觀與外語能力」的調查，蟬聯八年的公私立技職校院第1名，還有《遠見雜誌》「台灣最佳大學評比」的調查，本校榮登「學校整體辦學聲望」高屏地區私立技職校院第1名及《1111人力銀行》「企業最愛大學評比」的調查，本校也獲得「外語學群、大眾傳播學群」全國科技校院第1名及「雇主最滿意大學」雲林地區以南私立科技校院第1名等等各項佳績。

　　除此之外，為了發揚吳甦樂教育精神也成立了老師的召牧小組，明年我們也將成立第一屆學生領袖召牧培成營，2020年我們也將承辦亞洲大學校長會議。以上的點點滴滴都是文藻各位同仁的努力，相對應的我也知道在這背後是多少的血汗與壓力，這些辛苦我們無以回報，就只有日夜為各位祈禱，我特別請我的助理把所有主管的名字做成一個小卡片放在我的手機、辦公桌及我高雄和台北的家，每天早晚尤其是隨時，向天主祈禱祝福與安慰各位，祈求上天平撫您們的壓力、報答您們的辛苦！其實我怕文藻雖然不斷的努力，但別的學校進步得更快，不過讓我們把一切託付在天主手上，自己只要努力做好腳前的那一步。

　　再次衷心感謝勞苦功高的各位夥伴，也謝謝各位家屬來到現場與我們共歡，請再次接受我們對您們的感謝與祝福，更謝謝今天人事室和公關室及所有工作同仁的辛苦，讓我們把今天的歡樂獻給天主及在座的彼此！祝 大家闔府平安，健康喜樂，謝謝大家！

Dear Sisters, Alumni, distinguished guests, Colleagues, Families and Friends,

　　Good afternoon!

　　It is once again time to celebrate our annual Wenzao Christmas Luncheon. I would like to express my gratitude for all your hard work and the progress that we have made over the last year. In 2017, we saw an increase in enrollment, finances, international exchanges, projects with industries and government. It has been a very profitable and stable year.

　　It is particularly worth noting that our projects with industries and government and various off-campus subsidies received a budget of NT 344 million, making it an exceptional year. Thank you very much for your hard work and dedication!

　　This year, the school also set up a new Research and Development office and a new multi-purpose building is currently under construction. The Aboriginal Resource Development Center was opened last month. The Department of Korean, Southeast Asian Studies and the Master program of Southeast Asian Studies were also launched. The College for Holistic Education was also renamed the College of Liberal Arts Education and our English Language Education and Liberal programs were greatly enhanced this year. In July, Alumni Association was also established. We have also set up a committee of teachers to promote the Ursuline spirit and to develop a leadership camp for students that will begin next month. This will give faculty and students a greater understanding of Saint Angela’s educational philosophy. Furthermore in 2020, we will host Asia University Presidents Form.

　　This year, Wenzao again received several great honors from around Taiwan. One of our professors received the National Award for Life Education, which has been bestowed to Wenzao’s teachers for three consecutive years now. Other honors include, Cheers Magazine again ranking Wenzao number 1 in a survey of public and private technical and vocational universities in international and foreign language skills. This has been awarded to the school for eight consecutive years now. Global Views Monthly ranked Wenzao as the number 1 ranking of the best prestige of technical and vocational private university in Southern Taiwan. 1111 Human Resource Bank ranked Wenzao as also the number 1ranking that employers are most satisfied and the best technical and vocational private university for foreign languages and communications in Southern Taiwan.

　　All of these successes and great honors have been due to the tremendous efforts of my colleagues. I know how much pressure you are all under and the efforts and sweat and tears that go into all these things. I don’t know how to show equal gratification for the work you all do, but please know that I pray for you all every day. I have also asked my secretaries to write all our management and administrators’ names on a small card that I keep in my mobile phone cover. I take this everywhere I go, even to my homes in Kaohsiung and Taipei. Every morning and evening I pray God comforts you and guides you in all your hard work. Though we may feel other schools are making more progress, I believe that with continuous efforts from all our colleagues we will ultimately be successful.

　　Once again, I want to sincerely thank my colleagues for their hard work and am so happy to see so many families join us today. Thank you all for coming. Again we are truly blessed to have you and grateful for all your hard work. We also deeply appreciate the Personnel and Public Relations offices, along with various other colleagues, for all the work that they have put into today’s event. Finally, all our joy and happiness of the day should also be dedicated to God and everyone that came out to make this day successful! I want to wish everyone peace, health and happiness over the holidays. Thank you and best wishes!
