Vietnamese Community Celebrates Lunar New Year Mass at St. Martin of Tours

The Vietnamese community at St. Martin of Tours parish celebrated a special Lunar New Year Mass yesterday, February 2. Known as “Tết,” it is one of Vietnam’s most significant holidays, a time for families to reunite and honor their ancestors. Fr. Vien Nguyen, SCJ, provincial superior, was the main celebrant and homilist. Fr. Francis Vu Tran, SCJ, is pastor to the Vietnamese community, and Fr. Andrzej Sudol, SCJ, is pastor of St. Martin of Tours. They were joined by Dehonians from around the world, some of whom are students at Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology‘s ECS program, and others who are preparing for ministry in the US Province. Happy Year of the Snake!
