The story incorrectly gave the date of the last ad limina visit from Hong Kong diocese as 1995. Father Lawrence Lee Len, the diocesan chancellor, told UCA News June 12 that the late Cardinal John Baptist Wu Cheng-chung of Hong Kong met Pope John Paul II on April 23, 1996, submitting a report on diocesan affairs from 1990-95.

Please emend paragraph 11 as follows:

The diocesan leaders' ad limina visits are overdue. Cardinal Wu made his last visit in 1996, and now-retired Bishop Domingos Lam Ka-tseung made his last visit as head of Macau diocese in 2000. Pope John Paul II received both of them.

Paragraph 15 also should be changed to read:

The Hong Kong diocesan report will be voluminous, Father Lee said, since it will cover 12 years of local Church development. Among the aspects it will include he cited priestly and lay formation, religious education, evangelization, social concerns, ecumenism, interreligious dialogue, the Church's interaction with local society, exchange with the mainland Church, and the diocese's role in China-Vatican relations.
