China: 9th July celebration in LA
LOS ANGELES: 6 July 2005 -- From LA comes the news of a major celebration and exhibition at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels for the 9th July, Feast of the Chinese Martyrs. The theme is especially to pray for the evangelisation of China, and the event is being organised on behalf of the extensive Chinese community in that city by the St Bridgets Chinese Catholic Centre (Fr Joseph Cheng sdb) and two other archdiocesan centres, St Thomas Aquinas and St Elizabeth Ann Seton.
From June 26th there has already been a major exhibition in the Cathedral of the story of the Chinese martyrs and the long story of Chinese evangelisation. The aim is clearly that of reminding people of the sacrifice and also the glorious story involved in evangelisation in China, but also for local Chinese communities to come together in the experience of being one in Christ with their brothers and sisters in China. Through understanding and prayer they hope to facilitate open dialogue and normalisation of relationships between the Church and their homeland.
