In Memory of Martha Chan

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the news of the passing of Ms. Martha Chan, who recently suffered a sudden stroke and is now resting in the peace of Christ. Martha was the Founder and CEO of Educational Resources and Referrals China (ERRChina), a role she carried with vision and dedication for the past 39 years. Motivated by her profound love for the Chinese people, she established ERRChina to foster understanding and build bridges through education, scholarly exchange, and research. Her work was not only pioneering but deeply rooted in compassion and mutual respect. The US-China Catholic Association (USCCA) has been honored to partner with Martha and her organization over the years. Our collaboration was especially meaningful through the lecture series and the Chinese and American Friendship Ministry in Berkeley.

We are deeply saddened by this loss. Martha’s unwavering commitment to the people of China, her generous spirit, and her tireless efforts to promote mutual understanding have left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Her legacy will continue to inspire us, and her absence will be deeply felt.

We hold Martha, her family, and all who mourn her in our prayers during this time of grief. May she rest in the eternal peace of Christ.
