ASIA/CHINA - The Catholic Church exhorts the families to promote religious vocations

Shaan Xi (Fides Agency) - The Catholic community of San Yuan, in the province of Shaan Xi, has always focused much of its attention on religious vocations. In the area, many families have offered several of their children to the Church as priests and sisters. The local community promotes any kind of activity to make vocations grow. Besides usual formation and sensitization, the community dedicates special attention and takes special care of families who have dedicated their children to the Church. These families never feel lonely, so young people are sure that one day their elderly parents shall not be left alone without help. (Fides Agency 3/6/2004 lines 12 words 138)
