Bibles for Chengdu in Sichuan Province

You may remember the terrible earthquake that China suffered in 2008. The maps will help you to locate the area that was devastated by the earthquake. Take a look:

In happier times… when the church building was intact…

Elegant Architecture

And well attended services ...

But this is what remained after that nightmarish moment

The undying spirit of the faithful keeps them going …

What remains intact now is the Church:
the Catholic Youth of Chengdu!


We have recently sent 400 copies of the Chinese Pastoral Bible to the Chengdu Catholic Youth Fellowship and to the Cathedral Parish of Chengdu Catholic Diocese.
