In Chinese culture, 2016 is the “year of the monkey.” The Chinese New Year is celebrated according to the Lunar Calendar. This year’s celebration began on February 8, 2016 and will continue through February 22, 2016.
For almost 75 years Holy Redeemer Chinese Catholic School, which is located in the China Town section of Philadelphia, has educated many children of immigrant families. A majority of the students who attend Holy Redeemer speak English as a second language.
