New SCJ Assignments Begin July 1, Including Fr. Joseph Dinh as Director of Justice, Peace and Reconciliation

On July 1, several SCJs began new assignments in the province, including Fr. Joseph Thien Dinh who transitioned from the formation team to his new role as Province Director of Justice, Peace and Reconciliation.

“I firmly believe that our SCJ ministries in South Dakota, Mississippi, Texas, and Wisconsin already stand as powerful witnesses to the spirit of our founder,” wrote Fr. Joseph.

“The Dehonian ministries are a living testament to our faith and reflect the charism of Fr. Dehon… I envision that as we work together in the spirit of Fr. Dehon’s Sint Unum, we will stand for justice, work to promote peace, and help build God’s kingdom.”

Fr. Joseph welcomes input from SCJs and collaborators. Click here to email him.

Among others who have recently begun new assignments is Fr. Vincent Suparman, SCJ, who is now a part of the care team with the community at Sacred Heart at SHML. And as we noted last week, Fr. Jean Claude Mbassi, SCJ, is now with the Sacred Heart Community Pinellas Park, FL. Br. Andy Gancarczyk, SCJ, our ECS residential director, is also fairly new to his ministry, stepping into the role following the death of Fr. Yvon Sheehy, SCJ, in February.
