Fr. Paul Pang has always said that our parish is the largest Chinese parish in the world. That is great praise and encouragement for us. Indeed, without the services of Fr. Paul Tang, Fr. Philip Chao and the rest of the parish clergy, our parish would not be the same today.

From now on, it is up to all of us to keep up the good work.

I mentioned in the Pastor¡¦s Corner of the August 11th bulletin, that my pastoral direction is to develop our parish into a family community. Therefore let us begin with our own family, because every family is an active and important part of the parish.

At the same time, I feel very fortunate that the late Cardinal Wu has given me the chance to come here and work with you. May the love of Christ dwell among us and lead us during my time here as pastor.
