THE CHINESE SISTERS OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD AND T...

This book traces the origins of the Chinese Sisters of the Precious Blood in Hong Kong and
their history up to the early 1970s  and contributes to the neglected area of Chinese Catholic
women in the history of the Chinese Catholic Church. It studies the growth of an indigenous
community of Chinese sisters  who acquired a formal status in the local and universal Catholic
Church  and the challenge of identifying Chinese Catholic women in studies dealing with the
Chinese Church in the first half of the twentieth century  as these women remained faceless and
nameless in contrast to their Catholic male counterparts of the period. Emphasizing the
intertwining histories of the Hong Kong Church  the churches in China  and the Roman Catholic
Church  it demonstrates how the history of the Precious Blood Congregation throws light on the
formation and development of indigenous groups of sisters in contemporary China.
