| About Us - Our History |
Our community has more than twenty years of history in Dallas. What began as five or six families coming together to study the Bible and pray together, quickly became a community that regularly gathered at nearby churches for Masses and meetings. As the numbers grew, they requested that the Diocese of Dallas help establish a permanent Chinese Catholic community in 1990. In 1992, we put our money together and purchased a small office building in Richardson, Texas. By the end of 1993, we had renovated it to become our sanctuary and activity hall. With the guidance of priests seconded from Taiwan and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, our small community grew stronger in numbers and in faith.
In 2000, our little church could no longer sustain the quickly growing number of parishioners. After 5 years of planning and various fund raising activities, and with the help of our own parishioners and numerous generous benefactors from all over the world, we constructed a new multi-purpose building as Phase I of our new church. Finally on January 15, 2006, the building was blessed and inaugurated. Six months later, by the grace and blessings of our Lord, our church was elevated from a Mission to a canonically erected Parish. This is truly the pride and joy of all the community members.
