Catholic Religious Services in Beijing
Submitted by Bill Belew on Monday, 18 August 2008No Comment
There are some 20 Catholic churches in Beijing that hold masses in German, Italian, Spanish and French for those among the 400,000 overseas visitors that want to partake.
The churches also have foreign language speaking volunteers to help visitors find the Lord, um, the worship facilities.
A priest in China says, “Holding the Olympics is building a beautiful world, and this is in line with Catholic values of love, justice and peace.” Ah, don’t we wish all religions desired love, justice and peace?
Beijing claims to have some 100,000 Catholics. There are also 20 parishes, 55 priests and one convent, as well as a seminary with 20 seminarians.
Where do you worship?
