All four were ordained through the imposition of the hands of the Most Reverend Joseph NGUY\u1ec4N (T\u1ea5n T\u01b0\u1edbc), Bishop of Ph\u00fa C\u01b0\u1eddng, Vietnam. The ordinations took place at the S\u01a1n L\u1ed9c Parish Church in H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh City, Vietnam.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two deacons are Friar Joseph L\u00ca (V\u0103n V\u01b0\u1ee3ng), Econom of the Annunciation Friary in C\u1ee7 Chi, Vietnam, and Assistant Postulancy Director; and Friar Paul TR\u01af\u01a0NG (V\u0103n M\u1ef9), the Assistant Novice Master at the St. Francis of Assisi Friary in Dak N\u00f4ng, Vietnam. The new priests are Friar Joseph NGUY\u1ec4N (V\u0103n Nh\u00e0n) who ministers to the lepers at the leper colony in V\u0103n M\u00f4n, in northern Vietnam, and Friar Joseph V\u00d5 (Qu\u1ed1c C\u01b0\u1eddng), a member of the Mother Province of St. Joseph of Cupertino in the USA (SJC) [California].<br \/>\nThose attending the ordinations included the Custos of the Provincial Custody, Friar Joseph TR\u1ea6N (V\u0103n Long); a Provincial Definitor from the SJC Province, Friar Tammylee NGO; some friars from the Custody of Vietnam, various priests and religious from other congregations and dioceses in Vietnam; the families of the newly ordained friars and the local faithful. Father Victor ABEGG, the Minister Provincial of the SJC Province, had come to Vietnam one week before the ordinations, but because he was not feeling well, he was unable to attend the Mass.<br \/>\nIn his homily, the bishop shared that the sacred order of the priesthood was a great gift from God to human beings; because through the life and ministry of each priest, God\u2019s beloved Son continues to be present, carrying out his salvific activity for all people. The bishop invited the newly ordained priests and deacons to more deeply examine the mysteries of the incarnation, mission, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, so that their own lives and ministries might be as fruitful as the life and ministry of St. Francis.<br \/>\nAfter the ordination, the two new priests went to their local parishes, where they each celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving and blessed their families.<br \/>\nMay God grant our confreres the grace of a good life in the fraternity and may they perform the ministry entrusted to them with fidelity, humility and commitment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Friar Joseph NGUY\u1ec4N (Ch\u00ednh Lu\u1eadn), Custodial Secretary<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday morning, February 19, 2023, the Custody of St. Francis Anthony Fasani in Vietnam was delighted to have two friars ordained to the priesthood and two friars ordained to the diaconate.
