HONG KONG (UCAN): Bishop Anthony Dang Mingyan believes that a visit from the German president, Joachim Gauck, to the cathedral in Xi’an on Holy Thursday (March 24) should help the development of the charitable outreach of the Church in his diocese.

Bishop Dang said he introduced the German president to the diocese’s charity works and described the general situation of Shaanxi province during his 50-minute visit.
