The Chinese Catholic Society of Michigan cordially invites you to our annual fundraising dinner in support of the Catholic Church in China. The funds we raised from our past fundraising dinners have supported churches and seminaries in many parts of China. The funds are also being used to support Chinese seminarians studying abroad. Thanks to your support, we raised over $10,000 from last year's dinner, raffle, and donations.

This year's dinner will feature Father Joseph Jinde Lin, speaking on the topic, "Spiritual Renewal of the Catholic Church in China".
