Welcome to the China-Macau Bulletin, October 2009

Feast of St Claret celebrated

The joy of Celebrating the feast of St Claret in China was entirely a different one. The Communities in Macau and Taiwan celebrated the feast with due solemnity together with their associates, friends and well-wishers.

Celebrants with the Bishop Most Rev. Joseph Lai

In Macau the feast was celebrated for the first time. This served to be an occasion for our well-wishers and friends to come together to share our joy and to get to know a little more about the Claretians and their Mission.

Claretians and the Associates at Macau with the Bishop

The festal Mass, concelebrated by Most Rev. Joseph Lai, the Bishop of Macau was well attended by around 100 faithful.

Claretian Associates

During his homily, the Bishop appreciated the good works the Claretians do in the Diocese and all around the world.

Friends and Well-wishers

Like their founder St Claret, who left his own country and went to Cuba for the Missionary work, these Claretians have left their own country and home for the missionary work in this great country of China, the Bishop said.

BBQ was part of the celebrations!
