Randwick parish, a Farewell and a Welcome

Farewell to Thang Nhu

We will miss Thang Nhu, who left Sydney on July 20th, 2024, to return to Vietnam. Thang was the first of our MSC brothers to minister in Australia. He arrived in 2017 and attended the Siloam programme at Heart of Life. He was then appointed to St Mary’s Towers Retreat House to join the Retreat Team. He was there for 18 months. After this, he moved to Coogee, where he was involved in promoting vocations, giving retreats to the Vietnamese Community and assisting in the parish. His last appointment was as Chaplain to Prince of Wales Hospital. (The photo above has him ready to go to the hospital.) Thang, thank you for your presence and ministry in Australia. Safe travels home, and keep supporting the Blues and the Swans and keep eating vegemite.
