Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Time flies, yes, it is. Seven weeks just like yesterday. It is not easy for me to say farewell to this parish. My past 7 weeks have been filled with grace and love. The grace and love of God, the Virgin Mary, and St. Joseph, have unceasingly poured out on my life. The grace and love of Fr. Jean-Paul, and Fr. Alex, have inspired me, from those wonderful priests, I have learned many things and grown in my spirituality, intelligence, pastoral, skills, and humanity. Final, the grace and love of each parishioner and staffs, with whom I have worked and served, have motivated my vocation. Your faithfulness to God and the Church has encouraged my priestly vocation.

I sincerely thank all of you. May God continue to pour out His love and grace on you. I will remember you in my daily prayers.

Please continue to pray for me, your servant, so that I can be a holy deacon and one day a priest.

In Christ,
Rev. Mr. Thanh Pham
