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.

One Candle



我們只是一根小蠟燭,

要緊的是點燃出來的光,

個體的生命只是宇宙的小點,.....

只要自己發亮,

不愁這世界沒有光,

每一刻瞬間真實都是永恆的.....

所以,我們不要看輕自己,覺得自己微不足道,其實,只要我們聚在一起,有句話說,「星星之火可以燎原」,每人一根小蠟燭,遠遠望去就是一片火海。蠟燭雖小,卻能照亮黑暗,只要我們繼續發亮,就能帶給這個世界希望。

『你的言語是我步履前的靈燈,是我路途上的光明。』同樣的,我們作為小小的蠟燭,會成為社區人士腳前的燈,路上的光。

一點小小的亮光,可以帶來溫暖,愛,能點燃希望,只要我們討諸行動,不管自己多微小,世界會因此改變。

~~~謹以"一根蠟燭"這首歌獻給離鄉背井艱辛奮鬥海外華人教會!


這是一位住在台湾高雄的潘姓教友﹐無意中拜訪本堂網站﹐閱讀到本堂歷史及其他資料—葡萄藤﹐堂區刊物等﹐了解到海外華人教友的狀況﹐深受感動﹐於是製作成《一根蠟燭》slide Show﹐並配以高雄露德聖詠團合唱曲﹐獻給達拉斯耶穌聖心堂﹐以及所有離鄉背井艱辛奮鬥的海外華人教會。

天主大能﹐將遠在千里的主內兄弟姐妹﹐相連一起。達拉斯耶穌聖心堂感謝天主﹐以及潘教友無私奉獻天主的心。祈禱每個像小蠟燭默默燃燒奉獻的海內外華人教友﹐能感受到天主的大愛。
