Fu Shun (Agenzia Fides) - "The dogma, principle of evangelization; spirituality, the soul of evangelization; the Holy Scripture, an instrument of evangelization; the Sacraments, root evangelization" were the topics covered during the 11th Course in Evangelization held at the Parish of Fu Shun in the Diocese of Liao Ning, with the aim of promoting evangelization through the active participation of all people. According to information received by Fides, in a study week, January 18 to 23, over 270 faithful parishioners from 7 districts participated in study and sharing, accompanied by 6 priests, 8 religious sisters, and 3 seminarians. Also, Bishop Pei Jun Min of the Diocese of Liao Ning, presided at the opening of the course, encouraging everyone to "assume the mission according to his vocation."
The parish priest, Father Wang Jian Xin, said: "With this initiative we opened the evangelizing activities of the year 2010. Those who have attended the course will take what we shared to all their communities, to amplify basic Christian evangelization." The Parish of Fu Shun, with over 7,000 faithful, is a very active community. Earlier this year among 80 Extraordinary Ministers of Communion and catechists were “sent out” during a solemn celebration. The Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, founded in 1941, now has about sixty religious who are active in pastoral work in evangelization and social services, particularly healthcare.
