My Dear Parishioners,
How are you doing in this new year? I hope 2019 has been good to you. I am thankful to God for my life, my family, friends and parishioners. I pray that everyone will be blessed by God with His peace, love, goodness and the everlasting life of heaven. This week let us keep our beloved parishioners - Abby Aguilar, Hannah Phillips, Rachel and Quang Le, Janet Duke and Sandy Nettleton - along with hundreds of thousands of youth who are in Washington DC for March for Life. May our prayers and their efforts end abortion, so everyone will have the right to life. God made everyone so that we may love Him by loving one another, regardless of how we think/feel about them or how we feel about life. Anyone who loves will be saved and anyone who does not love will be condemned. All Saints is a diverse church family with parishioners from many traditions and cultures. I was born and raised in the Vietnamese culture and language. Due to the Vietnam War, my family and I had to escape in a tiny boat in the Pacific Ocean for freedom. We made it to an island in Malaysia where we were rescued and fed by the Malaysian fishermen; we then lived in many refugee camps of Malaysia and in the Philippines; finally, we were accepted and welcomed to the USA to live for life. America has been our new homeland for the last 32 years and we love it here. I am thankful to God and to all those who have shared their lives, food, country, cultures and traditions with me. America is beautiful because we are like the rainbow in the sky, full of different colors that symbolize hope and life to all. Below is a message in Vietnamese inviting everyone to a special Vietnamese Mass on Tuesday, February 5th at 5:30pm in our church. Tet/Vietnamese New Year is the most important day of the year for the Vietnamese people. Everyone is invited to the Holy Mass followed by a potluck dinner afterwards in the Fischer Center. Come worship with us and celebrate with us! Thánh Lễ Việt Nam: Tết Nguyên đán là ngày quan trọng nhất của dân tộc Việt Nam khắp nơi. Chúng ta hãy đến với Chúa, Mẹ, các Thiên Thần và các Thánh vào lúc 5:30pm ngày đầu năm (Tuesday, February 5) để dâng Thánh Lễ (tiếng Việt, ca đoàn Việt) cầu xin Thiên Chúa cho quê hương Việt Nam, dân tộc Việt Nam khắp nơi, cũng như cầu xin cho gia đình chúng ta được nhiều ơn lành, bình an, hạnh phúc, và được thêm thánh thiện. Sau Thánh Lễ chúng ta sẽ chúc nhau đầu năm, chia sẻ niềm vui năm mới với nhau và qua Fischer Center để ăn tối. Nếu được, xin mỗi gia đình mang một món ăn (potluck) để chia sẻ với mọi người. Giáo Xứ sẽ có Phở Bò cho tất cả mọi người. Hãy đến với Chúa và với nhau trong ngày đầu năm. Kính mời, Fr. Hiển Comments are closed.
