On August 8, staff of Our Lady of Guadalupe parish in Houston gathered for their annual retreat at the Christian Renewal Center in Dickinson. It was a time of prayer, reflection, and fellowship. It was also a moment to say good-bye and thanks to Frater Hung Pham, SCJ, who completed his pastoral year with the parish. “We are deeply grateful for his dedicated service and wish him all the best as he continues his theological studies in Hales Corners, WI,” said a member of the staff in her write-up about the day.
Frater Hung is a fourth-year seminarian at Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology. He renewed his vows last week (see top of page) and recently began his preparation for profession of final vows.
