A man walks near part of the 100 years old Bailu church that was damaged during last week's earthquake in Bailu county in Sichuan province May 23, 2008. Elderly Catholics gathered in Chengdu on Friday to pray for brethren in stricken parishes, while priests and nuns took food to refugees in crowded stadiums or mountain towns. Historic churches in steep mountain towns are among the casualties of the earthquake that devastated China's Sichuan province last week, leaving their poor and rural Catholic congregations with little but faith.
