My mother and our six siblings left Vietnam when I was 13, shortly after our father’s passing, and we have been in San Jose ever since. I graduated from Andrew Hill High School, U.C. Davis, and St. Patrick’s Seminary. I was ordained along with my two friends on June 4th, 2011. I served at these churches during my seminary years: St. Joseph of Cupertino, Holy Spirit, Queen of Apostles, and St. Justin. Then, as a priest at these communities: St. Christopher Parish, Our Lady of La Vang Parish, and St. Thomas of Canterbury. In addition to parish ministry, I was happy helping with the Vocations Office during the past three years. I am very grateful to all the people whom I have been fortunate to encounter at these places. I continue to thank God as I am led to meet next to all of you at St. Maria Goretti, my home parish, where my family and I have been members ever since coming to the U.S. in 1993. I am connected with you in prayers since I heard the news of my assignment, and looking forward to connecting with you in real life soon. May God continue to bless all of us.
