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.

聖母聖誕

彭保祿神父

就是今天
, 從十二月八日無原罪慶節到今天, 足足九個月之後, 我們整個教會慶祝聖母瑪利亞光臨人間. 如果亞巴朗的誕生可以使許多民族喜樂, 那麼聖母瑪利亞的誕生不會給我們人類帶來更大的喜樂嗎 ?

是的
, 這位“曉明之星”, 這位“神秘晨曦”給我們帶來了太陽的來臨. 它的誕辰真的給我們人類大家庭帶來了莫大的喜樂. 不但是人類苦等了這時刻這麼久, 可能天主也等的不耐煩了.是的, 雖然說所有的聖寵都是天主所給的, 但是祂也需要個人的回應. 只有這種個人忠心的回應, 才能使聖寵開花結. 所以”聖母經”教導我們說:“妳胎子()耶穌同受讚頌!” 因為耶穌也是百分之百的人, 瑪利亞的子是最蒙祝福的, 也是天主整個創造中最裨益人類的. 瑪利亞便是這子的樹根, 我們今天慶祝的便是她的誕辰.
