Thank You

I am leaving Viet Nam in about an hour and a half, and I want to thank everyone who made my brief stay here wonderful. There is no better place to be than with good friends and family. This is my table where we come to eat three times each day. From left: Fr. Hoa, Fr. Khue, Bishop Joseph, Fr. Hien, Fr. Bo, and me. Missing from the table was Fr. Minh. Each has been great conversationalists and I will miss their funny stories.

I wish them all the best as they take the dioces of Phat Diem through the next few decades. The church has grown tremendously and has made the lives of the people so much better. The people in Viet Nam are faithful and that has made all the difference.
