20year

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.

為司鐸的祈禱


全能的天父!求祢因聖子耶穌的功勞,和祂大司祭的愛心,垂顧你召選的司鐸。仁慈的主!請不要忘記,他們亦是軟弱的受造物。

求祢激發在主教覆手時所給予他們的聖寵,使他們能緊緊地追隨祢,不要被仇敵所戰勝,永遠不做任何不相稱神聖使命的事。

主耶穌!我為忠信和熱心的司鐸祈禱;也為不忠信和不熱心的司鐸祈禱;為在本地或在外地工作的司鐸祈禱;為在受誘、孤獨、頹喪的司鐸祈禱;並為年輕的、病弱的、臨終的和在煉獄中的司鐸祈禱。更為我所愛、給我付洗、赦免我罪、為我主持彌撒、將聖體聖血分給我們的司鐸祈禱;也為開導、訓誨、幫助、鼓勵我的司鐸祈禱。

主耶穌!求祢將他們緊密地放置於祢的聖心內,賜予他們無限量的祝福,從現在直到永遠無窮世之世。亞孟
