By VIE SC

       Vietnam, 25 July 2022 -- On the Saturday morning, July 23, 2022, at the Don Bosco K'Long Retreat Center, Father Provincial Barnabas Le An Phong, SDB celebrated the closing Mass of the annual retreat of the fourth batch of the Vietnam Province.

       The retreat took place from July 17 to 23 with 51 confreres attending. The topic shared by Fr. Joseph Nguyen Xuan Quang, SDB during the retreat week was about fraternity: "Brotherhood is like leaven in new wine, and His holy people share in the joy" (Psalm of Friday Evening Prayer, week III).

       The first batch of the annual retreat had been from May 29 to June 4, 2022 and the second one from June 8 to 14, 2022 at K'Long Retreat Center, led by Father Francis Xavier Tran Cong Phan, SDB; the third batch from July 3 to 9, 2022 at the Benedictine sisters' convent in Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City, led by Father Joseph Nguyen Xuan Quang, SDB. And the last one for temporary professed confreres will take place at K'Long Retreat Center from August 6 to 12, 2022, led by Father Peter Nguyen Tan Toi, SDB.

       May God, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians and Saint John Bosco, grant the necessary graces to enable Salesian confreres to live their full and happy consecrated vocation.
