VIETNAM

Your gift of gratitude can change the life of a hungry child.

This season, I’m grateful for my family, home, and friends like you, while remembering the millions who lack what every child of God deserves. I hope you’ll keep them in your prayers and help us reach more through Catholic World Mission.

My heart goes out in a special way to the Hmong people in Vietnam. As an ethnic minority, they are marginalized and live in deep poverty. Children are malnourished, subsisting on only water, rice, and pickled bamboo. To survive, parents must work in rice paddies, often leaving their young children home alone.

The Lovers of the Holy Cross, an order of nuns in Vietnam, have devoted their lives to ministering to this all-but-forgotten community. They provide a nutritious lunch for children who come for Catechism and language classes. They also provide childcare and tutor students, feed the elderly, repair families’ houses, and build roads to connect communities.

Through their works of mercy, the Lovers of the Holy Cross are creating a community in which each person can participate fully and know the love of God. But they can’t do it alone

The Lovers of the Holy Cross serve 190 elders across three villages, as well as 950 children. Their work depends on caring friends like you!

As Isaiah promises: “If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness” (58:10).

Will you help these courageous sisters care for some of the world’s most vulnerable people?

Your support will not only help them heal as individuals. You'll help heal their entire families. Please extend your loving compassion to these men today.

EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS!
