There
are twelve sisters, including myself, working in several churches in Shenzhen
now. Eleven of us are from several
dioceses in the north of mainland. There
has been come and go during the past two years.
The
first opportunity for all the sisters to have meal together was during the
feast day of St. Francis Xavier’s Church last year.
There
was a retreat for all sisters and priests in Christ the King Church Bao An
district early this year and it was the first time gathering of sisters working
in Shenzhen.
The
second gathering was held at St. Paul’s Church Nan Tou district. Fr. Zhang and
8 sisters had hot pot lunch prepared by three parishioners followed by
adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
The
third gathering was held at a restaurant near St. Anthony’s Church Fu Tian
district followed by going around the Children Park near St. Anthony’s Church. There were 9 sisters during the gathering. 
Fr.
Lu treated 8 of us in a restaurant near Holy Family Church Luo Hu district. Four sisters should leave after lunch due to
commitment in the parish and long trip back to their Church. Four sisters, including myself, watched the
movie “Of God and Men” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Of_Gods_and_Men_%28film%29)
It
was agreed that each community will
take turn as the host of the gathering and it will be held every month or once
in two months on Mondays depend on the availability of the sisters. It has been a very nice gathering.
