Saturday Banquet Tables: $1,500
​
The Venerable Matteo Ricci Award and Banquet honors a legacy of encounter, scholarship, and profound respect embodied by Matteo Ricci, SJ, whose life and work shaped enduring relationships between the Church and the people of China. Through his deep commitment to learning the language, culture, and intellectual traditions of China, Ricci modeled an approach rooted in humility, friendship, and mutual understanding rather than imposition. The banquet and award bearing his name celebrate those who continue this tradition of dialogue and bridge-building, recognizing their contributions which reflect Ricci’s conviction that genuine engagement begins with listening, shared learning, and reverence for the dignity and wisdom of the Chinese people.
