China / Shijiazhuang

One of the major seminaries in China is located in the city of Sijiazhuang, Hebei Province. The rector of the seminary, Fr. Bosco Wu requested our help for books for their library. One of the government requirements to accept this seminary at the national level is that their library should have at least 30,000 titles. Immediately we started to look for books and our good friends the Jesuits from Taiwan gave us a helping hand.

They still need more books. These books can be in English…

Do you know where we could find some (thousands)…
not necessarily new…?
Just let us know and we will take care of the shipping expenses.

Bro. SC went to visit the seminary and talked with Fr. Rector to see and appreciate their work and to offer our service. He was invited to give some English courses to the seminarians next semester. A few days later Claretian Fr. Peter Chao also went to that city to share some experiences with some religious sisters and a group of university students who minister at the local university.

As you can see, the facilities are almost non-existent. The enthusiasm of the young people compensated for the lack of tables and chairs!
