From The Parish Library Projects

Thanks to aid received for this project, we continued to serve a couple of rural parishes and training centers by sending them books, especially books written in Chinese. some of the parishes that we served have sent us a few photos:

Parish of Dayangzhuang
天主教铺头堂区牧灵图书馆使用报告
天主教铺头堂区牧灵图书馆自2009年7月1日成立以来,对堂区的牧灵工作起到了很大的作用。使堂区信友无论在圣学、教义、灵修、文化等方面,都有了较大程度的提高;堂区的幕道者、很多的教外朋友大受裨益。尤其是幕道者的幕道阶段,借此书籍增加了对教会的深入了解与认识,坚定了其领受洗礼的信念。
The library in Dayangzhuang parish was inaugurated on 1 July, 2009. The books are of varied categories: lives of saints, catechesis, Spirituality, culture, etc. It is a great aid us to have a better Christian formation and to fortify the faith received in the baptism.
In this parish the catechists and evangelizers are excellent. The catechists form themselves into six groups for the purpose of the evangelization. Later they come together to share the experiences.

Huang Erying Parish
Every year there are a good number of people receiving baptism. There were 52 of them to receive baptism in 2010. The Catechist's books are of great help for the lay leaders of the Parish.

Putou Parish
We hope to have more books in our Library for the faith formation of our Children and the youth.
The city of Guangzhou (Canton), capital of the Province of Guangdong, is one of the most important cities in China and has about 8 million inhabitants. The young Archbishop knows us and appreciates our work… and even requests for more books in English, because in this city there are thousands of Philippinos and Nigerians. We have already sent them books in English. We have received the following letter from them:

Dear Fr. Alberto Rossa!
Greetings of peace from the community of Archdiocese of Sacred Heart of Jesus!
 What a gift to celebrate the Solemnity of our beloved pastors, Paul and Peter! The community is enriched and endowed with this gracious spiritual gift you offered to us…the spiritual literatures you availed to us! Yesterday we received the books from Fr. Peter and Fr. Zhao.
 Thanks for your effort in making this Christ’s community strong in being informed. Thanks for providing this link. We well do our best in the instruments of hope.
May our Lord bless you and your community? Please pass our prayer of thanks to all who made this possible.
Once more happy St Paul and Peter feast day!

Sr. Agnes


What she means is to thank for the books sent to them and for our web page where they find a free Bible course in English and in Chinese.
