60 years of the Assumption Parish in Taiwan

The festival began on Monday 13 with a Mass presided by the native Claretian, Fr. Peter Chao. On Sunday, the Festal Mass was presided by the Archbishop of Taipei John Hung, SVD.
On the occasion the parish was blessed with five infant baptisms while four adults received the Sacraments of Christian initiation and eight others received the Sacrament of Confirmation.
