Welcome to Nang as he begins his pre-Novitiate formation at Blackburn.

Frank Dineen, with Khoi and Trieu visit Nang’s family in Noble Park.

Nang writes:  " I was born in a Catholic family with six siblings and I am the youngest in my family. My parents and I moved to Australia two and a half years ago. In Australia we also have one sister (married) and one brother, besides that 2 brothers (married) and a sister in Vietnam.

I got to know MSC through many surprises and the first person I talked and met was Fr. Danh and Br. Trieu. They talked to me about the path of  the MSC congregation. I realise that the way of the Congregation is to recognise yourself and God's boundless loving heart. That's the main thing that makes me feel God's call to me there, in my heart, and in God's love.

After being guided by Father Khoi for a while, I really knew what I wanted, needed, and should do. Moreover, everyone's prayers that have helped me stay strong on the current path. Currently I am a pre-novitiate student of the MSC congregation and I am also an English student at ELSPM (YTU’s English as a Second Language for Pastoral Ministry course). I am very happy to be a member of MSC congregation. Thank God and the congregation for accepting me."
