The
McMaster Chinese Catholic Community is a group started
by Chinese Catholic students for the purpose of sharing
the Roman Catholic Faith. An officially recognized club
by the McMaster Student's Union, MCCC follows the Catholic
mission of evangelization and outreach to support the
Chinese Catholics in the university.
MCCC was established by several
catholic students in McMaster University in 1999 to
build a strong Chinese Catholic presence. The group
gathers weekly to celebrate the faith through discussions,
sharings, prayers and singspiration. We have also organized
visits to elderly homes such as Mon Sheong and Yee Hong,
participating in various activities from prize drawings
to Christmas Carolling. It is not all work as our other
events include barbecues and ski trips.
MCCC is a part of the Joint University
Chinese Catholic Communities, a network of CCC's from
other Ontario universities. Participating universities
include Western, Queens, McMaster, University of Toronto,
and University of Waterloo. This network of CCC's provides
a rich source of information, unity, and support for
all CCC's. Together, JUCCC has brought great events
such as campus visits to each different university,
social services to the communities they support, and
our yearly JUCCC retreat. The retreat provides a great
venue for different university CCC members to meet one
another and share experiences.
