Commemorated on First Sunday Feast of the Immaculate Conception
n 1858 the Qing government signed an agreement with England and France allowing foreign missionaries to do mission work in special ports and regions in China. The Holy See asked the Dominican Fathers of the Holy Rosary Province to restore the Catholic missions in Taiwan. The task of restoring the Catholic missions in Taiwan fell in the hands of Fr. Fernando Sainz and Fr. Angel Bofurul. The first Catholic mission was established in Takao (Kaohsiung), and a church in honor of the Queen of the Rosary was built near the banks of the Love River. The mission in Takao began to thrive with a good number of catechumens and converts. History
Some of the new converts were from Wanchin. Seeing their deep religiosity and good naturalness as well as a means to extend the mission work further in the hinterlands, Father. Sainz decided to go to their village and to preach the Gospel to them. On March, 1861, he thus took along a catechist and another Christian to this remote settlement at the foot of the mountains, 60 Kms. down south Takao. This is how the evangelization of Wanchin came about.
There were many reasons why the people of Wanchin received the faith. One important fact is that to the missionary's proficiency with the Min-nan dialect had an accent is similar to that dialect spoken in Wanchin. Secondly, the village settlement was in a strategic location was between the impenetrable Hakkas and the Paiwan aborigines who were known at that time as fierce head hunters. Their precarious existence among these people enkindled in them a need for a divine protection, a real experience of a Providential God who cares for them as a Father for His children.
