Young Adults: CACCLC 2010 is now open for registration!

Hi all,

Below please find the information about CACCLC 2010 which was forwarded me by Angela Chan. I've copied her on this email so should you have any questions, you can ask her yourself!
 
This year, the camp will take place on 9/3 to 9/6 at Santa Barbara Mission. The theme for this year is "Firmly Rooted: Thriving in Christ’s Love" -- "基督, 愛的根源.” Fr. Tom Betz, OFMCap, from Holy Redeemer Chinese Catholic Church in Philadelphia, will be the speaker. High school seniors, college students, and young adults are all welcomed to join this camp. The deadline for early-bird registration is 7/18/2010. For more details & online registration, please feel free to visit our website:  http://cacclc.net/
 
The camp will primarily be in English. However, all participants will be divided into small groups based on age and language (English, Mandarin, or Cantonese). So all participants will be able to do sharing in languages that they are comfortable in.

The organizer can also arrange carpools for those in need of a ride to the camp.
  
Fee: Student/Not Working: $150 before 7/18;  $175 after 7/18
Working: $200 before 7/18; $225 after 7/18


** 7/18 is the earlybird deadline.

Celebrating the mass for the "Martyrs of China" on July 11

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ:
 
Thanks to Fr. Olivera, it is a good news that we have obtained the permission from the Diocese to celebrate the Mass of the "Martyrs of China" at the same time with all Chinese Catholics around the world. The Feast is on July 9th but every year it will be moved to the immediate following Sunday. This year it is on July 11th. This is a permanent permission, so that we don't need to ask for every year.
 
Please join us to celebrate this significant mass for the memoir of all Chinese martyrs and pray for the evangelization works of all Chinese churches.
 
In Christ,
SJCCC chair board
