Many Chinese men in Maine joined Christian churches where they participated in Sunday Schools, in order to learn English and have an opportunity to socialize.

Wong My was a student in the Chinese Sunday School at South Parish Congregational Church in Augusta. The church opened a Chinese Sunday School in the 1880s.
