Are There Chinese Catholics?

Are there even any Chinese Catholics?” a new neighbor asked me. He had never met one.

Yes, there are many Chinese Catholics, was my short answer, and there is a whole world of martyrs and saints whose stories are largely unknown by our American Church.

I’ve been recently digging into the stories of Chinese Saints. I want to know and share their stories.

Chinese Martyrs, pray for us.
