In the Footsteps of the Nazarene: Chinese Catholic Priest.
hmtv on Mar 31, 2016 "In the Footsteps of the Nazarene" presents a Catholic priest who is forced to exercise his ministry in China clandestinely for being faithful to the Holy See. Since the implantation of communism in the country, the Catholic Church has suffered a rupture in its communion with the Holy See. Those who remain faithful to Rome are subjected to re-education camps, vigilance by the government, censures, tortures… Many priests and bishops are arrested, imprisoned or have disappeared. The recognition of the Holy Father as representative of Christ on earth entails a high price for the Christians in China, and this testimony gives us a glimpse into the faithfulness and tenacity with which our Chinese brothers and sisters live their Faith.

Sheshan Basilica of Mary, Help of Christians is one of the most prominent pilgrimage shrines in China.
In May 2007, Pope Benedict XVI released a Letter to Chinese Catholics, in which he asked that May 24 each year be celebrated as a World Day of Prayer for the Church in China. He chose May 24 because it is the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians, who is venerated at the Shrine of Sheshan in Shanghai.[6] The following year Pope Benedict composed a prayer to Our Lady of Sheshan.[7]
On May 24, 2009, during his Regina Caeli papal address, Pope Benedict XVI designated May 24, the Feast of Mary Help of Christians, as a day of prayer for Chinese Catholics calling them to renew their fidelity to the Pope as the sole successor of Saint Peter.
