parish priest for Chinese Catholics continued his apostolic work by celebrating daily masses and hearing confessions in the house of Mr. Jose Co-Ching-Yan.

His unselfishness and dedication to the spiritual well-being of his parishioners attracted many Chinese Catholics who felt the presence of God in their lives during the war years.

Antonio Garcia, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, pushed for the restoration of the Parish of Binondo.

Finally, on April 27, 1945, a 700-meter area was granted for the purpose of constructing a new and small church exclusively for the Chinese residents of Manila.

Nonetheless, Father Antonio was determined to go ahead with his plan and have it materialized.

Guillermo Piani inaugurated the school under the name of Crusader's Academy, which was later changed to its present name Lorenzo Ruiz Academy in honor of St. Lorenzo Ruiz, the first canonized Filipino-Chinese Martyr, who also served in this parish.
