Remembering
Bro Dominic Chong Soon Cheong , FSC
( 1939-2020 )
By Bernard Teo
Bro Dominic Chong was my Director of
Scholasticate from 1983-1985 when I was a newly professed Brother . He was a caring and gentle director whom I found easy to confide my thoughts and struggles with as a young member of the order . Whenever I had my monthly meeting with him , he would often ask about my father after I had visited my family over the weekends . His concern was that as a religious , we must continue to be a filial son all the time .
Even after I had left the Brothers , he would often ask about my dad whenever I had the occasion to catch up with him .
