Chinese Catholic Ministry 
       华人天主教团体

What are we about?
我们的宗旨是什么？
We live Acts 4:32, One heart and One soul in Christ. We live this out under the patronage of Our Lady of Fatima. We are the Chinese part of the Our Lady of Fatima Church parish family. We particularly celebrate God’s love for each of us in how we support one another to know Him more, experience freedom from our sins, and prepare for eternal life.
我们特别颂扬天主对我们每个⼈的爱，我们互相支持，去更多的认识祂，体验从罪恶中解脱的自由，为永⽣做好准备。

Who is welcome?
We warmly welcome anyone who may be interested in Chinese Catholicism, whether Catholic or not. We are looking especially for Catholics who are of Chinese origin, speak Mandarin, Cantonese, or another language.

When is holy Mass in Mandarin?  
As of now, we only have holy Mass and celebrations for special occasions, and they are done in Mandarin with some English (Bilingual) Handouts are provided. 

Please like Fr. Rozas’ Facebook page, follow his Instagram and keep checking here for updates. 

If you or someone you know is interested in a more regular gathering, Father Rozas looks forward to hearing from you.

Do you have other Sacraments such as Baptism available in Mandarin? 
We are working on that as well. Please let us know what you are looking for, and we will then talk about the details.
