Friends in Christ:
For 35 years, the US-China Catholic Association has organized an inspiring set of conferences that have welcomed the Church in China and the Church in the US to come together in dialogue and to learn and grow in friendship among Catholics from the US and China.
We invite you to review the enduring legacy of our conferences across the years.
If you have attended one or more of these conferences, we would welcome your reflections to share with those who will join us -- as we hope you will -- this year.
Please share this information with your network of friends who are interested in knowing more about the practice of Christianity in China.

Our MISSION
Inspired by the Gospel, the mission of the US-China Catholic Association is to build bridges of friendship and dialogue between the people of China and the United States by offering educational, service, and cultural programs in support of the Church and the larger society.
The US-China Catholic Association was founded in 1989 by concerned U.S. bishops Maryknoll, the Jesuits, and representatives of other religious orders to promote mutual support and fraternal ties between the Church in China and the U.S. Church.
