Based upon 《The Fatal Attack on Catholics in Beijing during the Boxers' Movement拳時北京教友致命》、《The Anecdotes of Courageous Catholics in Xian County Diocese獻縣教區義勇列傳》、《The Adversity of the Boxers' Movement拳禍記》, this paper examines the situation of Catholics and their shelters in Zhi Li City during the Boxer's Movement. The above-mentioned documents disclose the fact that the small to medium-sized Catholic gathering places were attacked, which forced the Catholics to break away from the church. Some Catholics fled away from home, those who failed to escape, died at home, some of them collapsed on the way, and still others betrayed their faith in order to survive. Most of the surviving Catholics found shelter in well-founded protective establishments. Among some 30 such locations, Catholics confronted the boxers, either actively or passively. Also noteworthy is that the Boxers who attacked the establishments of the Catholics mostly came from the same county or neighboring areas. An analytical study on the situation of different Catholic shelters helps to outline the situation of the Catholics in Zhi Li during the Boxers' Movement, which can serves as a cross reference for the various other provinces in the North of China during the same time.
