St. Vianney Parish at Taichung Nantun
After the “Weiya (end of year party) One-Brings-One Evangelism” in February, the parishioners accompany their non-Catholic friends, relatives, or family members to attend the catechumen classes. We are expecting 40 people be baptized on Christmas Day this year. Thirty of them are currently in Grace’s four catechumen classes.

This parish only had about 50 active parishioners before we came. After a successful collaboration experience of five baptisms with us last December, we had another seven baptisms on Nov. 13 this year. There all came from Grace’s three catechumen classes.
Evangelization is full of challenges. I’m thankful that God has blessed the evangelism ministry in Taichung and made it fruitful. Because of God’s grace, we have continuous conversions of many catechumens to our Lord, and they have been baptized as children of God. They often say, “Lord, it’s great to know You!” or “Why had nobody told me about the Lord earlier?” The good news of the Lord is precious and a human being’s ultimate desire is to know Him. So here we pray that the Lord call and bless more people to be His evangelism partner.
