by Br. Daryl Charron, C.PP.S., Vietnam Mission
“Chua khoi vong da cong duoi.” “Don’t celebrate until you are 100% sure there is a reason to do so.” This Vietnamese proverb says a lot about the culture. Vietnamese people celebrate special occasions well. The Vietnam Mission truly celebrated on April 7th when the number of its members went from five to nine. We welcomed Hoa Vincent Vu, Ky Joseph Phung, Hao Paul Pham, and Diep Joseph Vu into our Congregation. We also celebrated the Pledged Candidacy of An Martin Nguyen and Dung John Nguyen. The sisters of the Lasan Community hosted us at their convent in their newly restored chapel. It was a joyous occasion in which to celebrate the new life brought into our Vietnam Mission this Easter season.
