January 2022 Professions in Vietnam
Hoàng brings us the good news that last Saturday week four MSC made their final profession, and two men were accepted as candidates into the pre-novitiate formation program.
Providentially, despite covid, some isolation our website photographer, Trieu, was able to get a ticket and fly to Vietnam – and was present at the ceremony and sent these photos.
The finally professed were:
- Tiến Minh Nguyen;
- Tính Đào Anh Nguyễn;
- Quý Thiện Bùi; and,
- Thành Vũ Nguyễn
The two men in the pre-novitiate are:
- Vũ Minh Nguyễn; and,
- Minh Phúc Đòan
Hoàng MSC, the Superior, was presider of the liturgy.
He, on behalf of General Superior, received the vows of four brothers and accepted two candidates and placed them in the care of Danh, and Chung, the directors of pre-novitiate formation.
- Tet (Lunar News Year): Hoàng wishes us all a very happy Tet for Feb 1st, and may it be a year full of grace and blessings from God. They are all now in the middle of two weeks of holidays with their families and friends.
Meanwhile in Sydney, Hoa, has arrived from Vietnam. He was a student MSC, left, but has returned. He renewed his vows yesterday at Treand House and will join the community at Cuskelly House in Blackburn and will study at YTU. (Photo of Hoa with Daniel Magadia.)
