There is no bishop of Phat Diem because the Vatican and the government of Viet Nam have not come to an agreement on who it should be. But for now, Fr. Khue is the Vicar General, which means that he is the one who makes most of the decisions around here. Fr. Khue's great fun is making jokes in French (he studied in Paris) and singing with the children. Here is a video of him hanging out before breakfast this morning and teaching the kids a new song.
A Vicar General also needs to be a good athlete so he can beat the seminarians in ping pong. Here is Fr. Khue (on the left) soundly defeating his opponent.
In the summers I spend time with my good friends in Phat Diem, Vietnam, a small country village with a world famous cathedral. Here are some of my musings. If you would like to correspond, please email me: garymeegan@gmail.com.
