聖地雅歌天主教華人團體 〔San Diego Chinese Catholic Community,簡稱SDCCC〕是一群中華基督徒組成的天主教團體,附屬於聖地雅歌教區
德蘭天主堂〔前聖約克威廉天主堂〕。聖地雅歌教區主教任命聖德蘭天主堂的本堂神父作為本團體的神師。

SDCCC於每星期天下午五時三十分舉行中文主日彌撒。敦請各地來的華語及本地美藉神父主禮彌撒。禮儀中各服務如讀經員、聖體員、傅祭、翻譯、音樂禮儀等都是由團體中的教友輪流負責。

1995年聖誕節成立以來,聖地雅歌華人天主教會已由初期十個家庭成長到現在的八十多個核心家庭。目前SDCCC有六個讀經信仰分享小組,聖母軍,兒童、青年信仰道理班,以及成人道理班〔RCIA〕。不少SDCCC會員都以聖德肋撒作本堂,並活躍於本堂活動。

除了團體中不斷的成長,SDCCC亦積極參與北美各地華人天主教團體的靈修及福傳活動,像製作「傳信與關懷」月刊,以及各項以華語進行的善事,如信仰講座、祈禱小組、避靜、心靈治療,及褔傳活動。

 

The San Diego Chinese Catholic Community (SDCCC) is a Chinese Catholic group based at the St. Thérèse of Carmel parish (formerly the St. William of York parish) in the San Diego Diocese. San Diego Bishop Robert Brom desig­nated the pastor of St. Thérèse of Carmel to be the shepherd and spiritual guide for the SDCCC.

At 5:30 every Sunday afternoon, the SDCCC Mass is celebrated by Chinese-speaking priests or by local English-speaking priests. Mandarin, Cantonese, and English are used in the liturgy. Community members participate actively in the liturgy as music ministers, Eucharistic ministers, lectors, sacristans, and altar servers.

The SDCCC has grown from ten families in 1995 to more than eighty active families today. Currently the SDCCC has six Bible Study and Faith Sharing groups (Mustard Seeds), Legion of Mary, Faith Formation for Children and Youth, and RCIA. Many SDCCC members are registered parishioners of the St. Thérèse of Carmel parish, and they actively participate in parish activities such as in Mission, RCIA, and Eucharistic ministry.

SDCCC members often join other California Chinese Catholic groups for spiritual seminars, retreats, Marriage Encounter, Healing of Hearts prayer, catechetical work and evangelization activities.

美國主教團多元文化網頁肯定各族裔(主要是第一代移民〉美國人,用母語文和母文化特色敬拜天主、度信仰生活的需要!(讓我們想到十二生肖、中國新年、敬天祭祖,

當然,對移居美國的天主教徒和其親友,用母語母文化在天主聖三內成長,比積極在語言文化上融入本地更優先!從小長大的根,是相隨一輩子的!若本地生長的美國人移居德國,也會一樣!

“the bishops today are very clear about the fact that the Church's mission is not to Americanize but to evangelize.” 

今天,美國主教團的主教們很清楚美國天主教會的任務不在美國化美國居民,而是福音化美國居民。

美國主教團還特地為亞太裔美國天主教徒,寫了一段用愛心鼓勵的話:

A quote from the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops 

“Dear brothers and sisters: In a spirit of heartfelt pastoral concern for the Asian and Pacific people in our midst, we Catholic bishops of the United States write this statement to all Catholics and especially to our Asian and Pacific brothers and sisters to recognize and affirm with loving assurance their presence and prominence in the Lord's house. We pray that this pastoral statement will facilitate a fuller appreciation of their communities in our local churches and will encourage Asian and Pacific Catholics to take on active leadership roles in every level of church life.”
