To all the members of the Brothers of Charity,
Upon the coming of the New Year, we offer our greetings and wish God’s blessings to all the members of the Brothers of Charity community, and to the congregation. May all brothers and sisters in Christ are filled with the Grace of God in life and on the way of serving others. Wish all of you a Happy New Year! God Bless!
First of all, on behalf of SHIJIE CHARITIES (SHIJIE in short) which is the Catholic Social Service Center of Taiyuan Diocese, I’m very glad to write this letter to all of you the Brothers of Charity, please allow me to express our thankfulness to all of you especially to all the members of the community in China, and to the Congregation, thank you so much for all your effort for the promotion and the development of the entire social work of Taiyuan Diocese in the past few years, and your devotion, enthusiasm, dedication, passion, support and cooperation in all the projects, as well as all the efforts in serving and accompanying the people in needs whom are neglected.
We are granted by God’s favour that since December 2014, Brothers of Charity and SHIJIE have successfully started and operated the project “the Family of St. Vincent” in Wufuying and Xiaodiao, and ongoing construction for the Old people. I believe that all the experiences in the process of our cooperation are in God’s great will. On behalf of SHIJIE, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience or negative impact without any bad intention however caused on the community or the member of the community by us. We ask for your forgiveness and please let us know your valuable suggestions and comments.
On behalf of SHIJIE, I am very grateful to the Brothers of Charity that allows Brother Joseph, Yuan, Shiping and makes him be available to serve the needs of the students in the Family of Vincent and accompany the kids. The support of the community provides lots of possibilities for the project to develop.
SHIJIE wish that all the programs of Brothers of Charity in China will continuously develop, in order to serve more people in needs and bring greater benefits to them in the love of God. May the congregation in China, specifically in Taiyuan grow and develop, so that can work together with more and more people and strength to build the Kingdom of God. We also look forward to deeper, more professional, and more effective cooperation and mutual support with all of you, to provide quality service to the needs with professional social work methods .

致仁爱弟兄会全体成员：
值此新春佳节到来之际，士杰公益为贵团体全体成员及修会每一位成员献上节日的问候与祝福，祝主内的每一位兄弟姐妹在服务和生活的道路上满载着天主的恩宠！新春快乐！主内蒙福！
首先请允许我代表天主教太原教区社会服务中心——士杰公益感谢仁爱弟兄会全体特别是修会在中国的全体成员，在过去几年中对我教区整个公益事业的推动与发展所起的作用，在各项目上的投入、热情、付出、赤诚、支持与合作，以及在各项目中对所有有需要的人所开展的服务。
承蒙天主上智的安排，自2014年12月以来，仁爱弟兄会与我机构已经不同程度地先后在五府营和小店合作服务了“文生儿童之家”项目以及其他服务，相信合作过程中的所有经历都有天主的美意，我代表士杰公益在我们合作过程中对贵团体所造成的任何不便或消极影响深表歉意，同时也请团体谅解并欢迎各位提出宝贵意见。
士杰公益也非常感谢仁爱弟兄会接受并使得团体成员苑世平会士能为项目服务对象开展服务与陪伴，团体在这方面的支持也给予了项目发展很大的可能。
士杰公益祝愿仁爱弟兄会在中国所服务的项目能够继续积极健康地发展，为了能够服务到更多有需要的人群并因着天主的爱为他们带去更大的益处；祝愿贵团体在中国、在太原教区能够不断发展壮大，从而有更多的力量共同去建设天主的国度。我们也期待与修会团体继续在公益事业中开展更深入、更专业、更有效的合作及相互的支持，以专业的社会工作方法为服务对象提供专业优质的服务。
