Ruifang Parish Celebrates 10th Anniversary of Fr. Liju’s Installation

On this day, July 17, 2016, the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Church in Ruifang (New Taipei City, Taiwan) marked a historic milestone as Archbishop Hong Shan Chuan presided over the Eucharistic Celebration formally installing Fr. Liju Kuriath, CMF as the parish’s 7th Parish Priest. The solemn liturgy, held exactly a decade ago, was a moment of grace and continuity for the faith community, as Fr. Liju accepted the pastoral staff and the responsibility of shepherding the flock in this vibrant New Taipei City district.

Now, ten years later, the parish looks back with gratitude on Fr. Liju’s enduring leadership, spiritual guidance, and unwavering commitment to the local Catholic community. Under his stewardship, the parish has continued to grow in faith and service, building upon the legacy of his six predecessors. The anniversary serves as a heartfelt reminder of God’s faithfulness and the lasting impact of that July 2016 celebration, as the faithful of Ruifang honor both their past and their continued journey forward together.
