The first stop of service in the United States was the New Jersey parish. In 1973, the congregation sent Father Xiang Bide (相弼德神父) to the United States to serve in the American parish. Father Bide also studied at Seton Hall University, major in researching issues of evangelization in Asia. In 1975, the Yaohan and Mingyuan secondary schools in Vietnam were closed. The two principals of the schools, Brother Liang Xier, Brother Diao Xile, and Father Wu Yagu, with the help of parishioners escaped to the United States. Brother Liang Xile, temporarily stayed in Marynoll Convent when he was first arrived in the United States.
Chinese Catholic Center was established
In 1976, Brother Liang left Maryknoll Seminary to live temporarily in the parish where Father Stanislaus Su (蘇達義神父) served in New Jersey. Brother Liang originally set up a student dormitory after arriving in the United States, but the opportunity was unfortunate and the plan was a complete failure. Later, through the introduction of Father Zhang Bigang (張必剛神父), who founded a nursing home in the United States, he became acquainted with the director of immigration of the Brooklyn Diocese of New York, Monsignor, Beviragua. At that time the Monsignor was consulting with the Chinese Holy Orders seminary to provide religious services to the Chinese community in his diocese. Through the recommendation of Father Zhang (張必剛神父), Father Stanislaus Su (蘇達義神父) , Father Wu Yagu (武雅古神父) and Brother Liang visited Beviragua, the Monsignor in November 1976 to discuss matters related to the development of Chinese religious services in the Diocese of Brooklyn, New York. After discussions, Father Stanislaus Su and others rented a place at Elmhurst 31-90 Corona Ave to set up a Chinese Catholic Center.
The establishment of the Chinese parish
At the beginning of 1978, the pastoral work that Father Stanislaus Su (蘇達義神父) and Brother Liang were engaged in was developing vigorously, but the venue to develope those activities was not enough. Father Stanislaus Su (蘇達義神父) and others again visited Beviragua, the Monsignor, through the Introduction of Monsignor they got to know the Dean of St. Elmhurst Diocese Seminary and he allowed them to use some of the rooms and equipment in the seminary during after hours so that Father Stanislaus Su had the opportunity to run the spiritual activities for the Chinese community. The seminary has a chapel that can hold a capacity of 200 people.
After the establishment of the Chinese Parish Center in the Diocese of Brooklyn, Father Stanislaus Su and Brother Liang used the center to engage in Chinese youth and Children’s education development. They also used the seminary classrooms to establish the Mingyuan Chinese School. The courses taught in the school were mainly in Cantonese and Mandarin. Thanks to the favor of God and rely on him, first year applicants reached a record high of 170 people. In 1979, the “New Life” monthly magazine was also esrablished in the Chinese Catholic Center.
The Brotherhood of Yaohan is nurtured in the vocation of the United States
After the congregation established the Our Lady of China parish in New York in 1978, Father Stanislaus Su served as the parish director, and Brother Liang Xier founded Mingyuan Chinese School and engaged in education development. In 1981, Fr. Stanislaus Su and Father Wu Yagu returned to Taiwan, and the Yaohan parish center was taken over by Father Xiang Bide (相弼德神父). In 1982, Father Liu Side ( 劉思德神父) came to New York to help Brother Liang to serve in Mingyuan Chinese School. In 1985, Brother Li Lubin (李魯彬兄弟) left mainland China to Argentina, and then later moved to New York.
Regarding the vocation training in the United States, Father Stanislaus Su recruited a number of Vietnamese brothers and arranged them to study philosophy of theology in Vancouver, Canada and in the St. Benedictine Mount Angel seminary in the United States. After graduation, they returned to Taiwan to receive their beginner training and later were ordained as priests.
Father Xiang Bide also recruited several Vietnamese brothers to join the congregation. Two of them were ordained as priests by Cardinal Gong Pinmei, who were later sent to Taiwan to study Chinese. Since then, the religious order has also recruited a number of Brothers from mainland China to come to the United States for training. Rev. Thomas Sung (CSJB) was responsible for training them. Brothers Li Huizhou (李會州)（磐石）(Pan Shi) and Zhang Qi (張琦) (若谷) (Ruogu) declared their holy vows at the beginning of the semester in 1995.
In 1998, there were 17 brothers and 2 beginners in the New York seminary. They were lived separately in the Church of Our Lady of China, the Little Brothers Congregation in New York, Mingyuan Chinese School, and a residence purchased by the seminary in Union Street. In the same year, the seminary leased a four-story building at 23-25 Newtown Ave. Due to the spaciousness of the building, all the brothers no longer live in separate places, and everyone can live in the same building. In October 1, 2002, on the anniversary of St. Teresa, the Mingyuan House was established and became the seminary Beatitude House (第三會).
