Dear Mr. Ku,
May the Lord grant you His peace! I am writing you on behalf of the St. Anthony of Padua Institute (SAPI), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting Catholic higher education in the San Francisco Bay Area.
On Saturday, May 8th, at 3:00 PM, SAPI is offering a free lecture titled "Conflict and Accommodation: Matteo Ricci’s Approach to Catholic Evangelization in China” at St. Margaret Mary Church in Oakland. The speaker will be Anthony E. Clark, Ph.D., Professor of Asian History, Whitworth University.
Given the important role that Ricci played in the history of Christianity in China, we thought that the members of the San Jose Chinese Catholic Community would be particularly interested to know about this event. Would you be willing to send out an announcement for this talk, or place an announcement on your website/Facebook page, or both? The blurb could run as follows:
You can find out more about the St. Anthony of Padua Institute and its goals and activities on the diocesan website or at www.sapi.org. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your time and consideration, and many blessings to you in this Easter season!
In Christ,

Conflict and Accommodation: Matteo Ricci’s Approach to Catholic Evangelization in China
Matteo Ricci was among the earliest and most influential of the missionaries to China. In addition to leading many people to the Catholic faith with the use of reasoned arguments and a great understanding of (and deep appreciation for) Chinese culture, he also introduced mathematical and scientific innovations to China from the Western World. Anthony E. Clark, Ph.D., Professor of Asian History at Whitworth University, will deliver a lecture on this important figure in the month of the four hundredth anniversary of Ricci’s death. This event, sponsored by the St. Anthony of Padua Institute (www.sapi.org), will be held on Saturday, May 8th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM in the parish hall of St. Margaret Mary Church, 1219 Excelsior Ave., Oakland, CA 94610. Admission is free.
