It is obviously of the so-called Oriental Rites- which would be celebrated in Cantonese, Mandarin, etc, rather than Latin. There is just such a church in Chinatown, the Church of the Transfiguration, having also a church school. They could not have picked a better name- there is something exotic and foreign about this great miracle ( I have even heard it argued it is so unscrutable and difficult to interpret- one is better off avoiding sermonizing on it directly! (nonethless some theologians have seen in the miracle- a tolerance for other religious groups- such as the Hebraic heritage. back to Oriental rites- the term is confusing as it also includes the Lines of the East such as the Uniate churc hes which arfe similar in doctrine to Russian Orthodox- but recognize the Pope.If the Chinese churches are Roman Catholic, they would honor the Pope"s authority also! I have a Cousin whose adopted daughter was born in Korea and of necessity- was baptized in the Oriental rite.

What is the address of the Catholic Church in Juizhaigao Valley?

Roman Catholic AnswerAs the Juizhaigo Valley was completely inaccessible to the world up until the late 1970's and has now been classified as a preserve by the Chinese government, and as it only has seven villages inhabited by Tibetans I kind of doubt that it has a Catholic Church. As the only Catholic Churches in China that have official addresses are Chinese Catholic Church (the Roman Catholic Churches are all underground), you would have to check with the Chinese government.
