Religious anniversaries celebrated in Vietnam Catholic parishes

Several religious anniversaries were recently celebrated within the Catholic community in Vietnam.

At Lien Thuong Parish in the Bui Chu Diocese, Sister M. Paolo Khoan Pham Thi Khen of the Congregation of the Daughters of Mary Rosary celebrated her 25th anniversary of religious vows. The thanksgiving Mass was attended by clergy, religious members, and local parishioners to mark her quarter-century of service.

Separately, at Phan Xaviê Parish, Father Phero Nguyen Vu celebrated 18 years of priesthood. The anniversary Mass, held on September 11, commemorated his ordination by Archbishop Stephan Nguyen Nhu The at Phu Cam Cathedral in 2008. The ceremony included several co-celebrating priests and members of the Hue Archdiocese Communications Department.
