Dear Brothers in Christ,

Fr. John Ch’i Shen-chung went peacefully to the Lord on July 16, 2013 at the Infirmary in Taipei at 11:20 p.m.

Fr. Ch’i was born in Qijiazhuang, Xianxian, Hebei, on Feb. 1, 1924. He entered the Society in Xianxian, China, on Aug. 14, 1945, was ordained to the priesthood on Mar. 11, 1958 at Baguio, Philippines, and made the last vows on Feb. 2, 1961 in Manila.

All priests of the Chinese Province will celebrate one Mass first intention for Fr. Ch’i’s eternal rest. Those who are not priests will offer one Mass and Communion and recite one “corona”. The members of the Theologate community will offer two Masses, etc.

Yours in Our Lord,

Luciano Morra, S.J.
