Mission Outreach Vietnam: Hung’s Trip to Vietnam

From June 17 to July 21, 2024, Br. Hung Nguyen, MSC, director of the MSC Mission Office Vietnam and Fr. Roger Purcell, MSC, Director of Mission Office Australia, met with their team members in Vietnam. They discussed how the Mission Office has worked in Vietnam and its projects since 2022. In addition, they visited the disadvantaged youth and water projects in remote areas. Their projects from previous years continue to work well. Residents were happy with the visit.

When the Mission Office visitations’ work concluded, Br. Hung attended an MSC communal gathering from July 23 to July 28, 2024. The MSC, including those in temporary vows, discussed a plan for the future of the MSC presence in Vietnam for the next 5 to 10 years. Three observers of the MSC in Vietnam were present for this meeting.

During the conference’s closing, Fr. Gene Pejo read a letter from the Superior General, Fr. Absalom Tovar, MSC. The General expressed his concerns about the conference and highly appreciated all those who made this conference happen. The community’s written proposals from the members were given to Fr. Thoi Tran, MSC, to present at the next Australia provincial meeting. The community hopes to have some things.
