Title: Chaplain to refugees.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-29907 CHAPLAIN TO REFUGEES MACAO -- Refugees from Communist China can count on Spanish-born Father Luis Ruiz, S.J., to help them when they arrive in the Portuguese enclave of Macao. Known as “The chaplain to the refugees,” the Jesuit maintains a villa called Casa Ricci where his door is always open to those in need. He talks here with an old Chinese woman who came to him for funds to start a fruit business. Called “Lui Sam Fu” by the refugees, Father Ruiz was a missionary in China before the Reds took over. Since 1951 he has aided thousands of refugees from behind the “Bamboo Curtain.” Last year 10,801 persons registered at Casa Ricci. The exodus to Macao will continue, Father Ruiz says, “as long as people do not find more food and liberty in Red China.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (U-NY-9C-63-RB)
