Daughters of Charity hospitalized after "fasting" for return of Church property
Seven Daughters of Charity in Tianjin have been hospitalized with dehydration after a five-day fast aimed at getting the government to return a Church property. About 20 members of the Sisters of Charity took part in the “fasting prayer” at Charity Mansion, the property in dispute, near the Wanghailou Church.

I’m in Taiwan. I know the DAUGHTERS OF CHARITY in Tianjin very well and I admire them these days for your courage in keeping a place the government wants to take from them. I am especially happy they are referred to as DAUGHTERS OF CHARITY whereas in the UCAN report they are only referred to as SISTERS OF CHARITY. We are with them in our prayers. Each time I have visited them I have personally seen in their lives the spirits of Vincent and Louise — Thanks for your comment and witness to their lives. Its really sad to hear such news and acts from the government. This translates that they are not even appreciative of the works the Daughters of Charity are doing! I feel for them. I promise you my prayers3 Comments
I suspected they were Daughters so I did a bit of checking before changing the UCAN press release.
