Throughout its history, the USCCA has shared a mutual story of faith, thanks, and learning through mission appeals in parishes across the US. During these Eucharistic celebrations, speakers reflect, educate, and proclaim the mission of building bridges of friendship and dialogue in partnership with Catholics in China.
For the past three years, the USCCA Book Circle has provided opportunities to deepen knowledge of the culture, wisdom, history, and spirituality of China. We are glad to share that the Book Circle is scheduled to return in January 2024!
