​Save The Date

​
The three seminarians of the Diocese of Thanh Hoa - Joseph Ha, Matthew Tuan and Joseph Hien, who had spent the last summer here with us are being ordained to the Diaconate. The Mass will take place here at St. Clement Church on next Sunday (May 22) at the eleven o’clock Mass. Most Reverend Vincent Nguyen of the Archdiocese of Toronto and our own Most Reverend Mark O’Connell will be presiding over the ordination. The ordination is not only historic for our church of St. Clement but also for our parish of Blessed Andrew Phu Yen.

So, on behalf of my bishop of Thanh Hoa, Most Reverend Joseph Cuong Nguyen, I cordially invite all of you to come to this Ordination Mass. A huge reception will take place in the gymnasium immediately following the Mass. Really, do plan to come, for it will be quite a beautiful and sacred experience.


​Congratulations 

to our 1st ​Reconciliation and Eucharist ​class of 2022
​


Congratulations to the children who are celebrating for the first time the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.  On this very special day, I hope you can feel the light of the Lord shining down upon you. May the love of Jesus shine in your heart now and forever!

​Dear Fr. Pham,

​Allow me this moment to express my appreciation for your kind welcome as I came to Blessed Andrew Phu Yen Parish to St. Clement Church last month, to celebrate the Mass of Christ the King and commemorate the Vietnamese Martyrs. Thank you for your gift provided following the Mass, your kindness will be very helpful for the work of the Church in the Archdiocese.

​Please know that I was greatly encouraged to witness the faith and enthusiasm of the many parishioners and families gathered for the Mass and the priests who were able to join us that day. Their collective presence was testimony to the importance of the Vietnamese Catholic community and Blessed Andrew Phu Yen Parish hold for the work of the Church, particularly the hope for the future present among the youth and young families.

Thank you, Fr. Phong, for all you do to lead and guide the Blessed Andrew Phu Yen Parish and your leadership for the Vietnamese Catholic Community. Your dedication to ministry and service is a blessing for the Archdiocese and the people entrusted to your pastoral care
​Asking God’s blessings upon you and all your loved ones, I remain,

Devotedly yours in Christ,
+Seán, OFM Cap
Archdiocese of Boston

​Synodality

Over the next several years, the Church around the world will be participating in a process called
the Synod on Synodality. The Holy Father will be meeting with Bishops from across the globe in 2023 to discuss ways of improving the process by which the church on all levels is open to hearing the voices of people from all walks of life.
That process will begin here in Boston now with asking as many people as possible to take a simple survey. The link to the survey can be found here:

“At the Mass yesterday I was just full of gratitude about the timing and everything,” said Father Phong Pham, who O’Connell installed as pastor on Sunday. “I was filled with gratitude that God really answered the cry of the Vietnamese Catholics and I think this is just the perfect timing and just God’s spirit and God’s hands were written all over it and on the face of the people.”
