On April 24, 1929, three young Passionists were murdered at the hands of bandits while serving as missionaries in Hunan, China. This event impacted U.S. Catholic history, shaped the Holy See's relations with China, and influenced the diplomatic policy of the U.S. Department of State in China during that era. We invite you to learn about these missionaries through a virtual presentation by Fr. Rob Carbonneau:
"95 Years Later:
Remembering the Life, Death, and Memory
of Three Young Passionists Killed in Hunan, China."
Father Robert E. Carbonneau, C.P., Ph.D., USCCA Director Emeritus
