The celebration was held in the HOP AN parish with the present of MSC Fathers and brothers, MSC sisters, OLSH sisters, Aspirants and LAY associates, family members of the 6 candidates and some benefactors.

Fr. HOANG NGUYEN is the celebrant together with Fr. Chris Mc Phee, our Provincial; Fr. KHOI NGUYEN, MSC; and Our MSC priest and some Priests, friend of our candidates.

It was a very meaningful celebration with the highlight of Fr. Chris’ homily which encourages and is clear to our MSC members and particularly to our 6 candidates is that no matter how good, intelligent, talented, etc…we are.

The basic foundation which MSC members need to have and to develop is that: -The desire for God - Making space for God - Discerning and looking for God’s will for us and His people. Then he expressed his gratitude to the parents of our candidates and to all those who supported our MSC in one way or another.

In this occasion, we also celebrated the Tet celebration for Lunar New Year and Farewell to Fr. Andrew for his new mission.

We have some activities during the party together with our Chevalier Family members, Priests, our Guests and relatives of our candidates.

Fr. Chris McPhee gave some lucky charm to everyone as our Vietnamese tradition in TET holiday.

We end our day with full of joy, grace by greeting each other with good thing in this Lunar New Year, particularly to our 6 candidates on this stage of their life.
