ASSISTANT OF THE MASTER OF THE ORDER
VISITS ST. DOMINIC’S
Fr. Vincent Lu, OP, the Socius or assistant of the Master of the Order for the Asia Pacific Region visited our St. Dominic’s Priory on April 12-13, 2011. He came to break Bread, share table and conversation with all the members of our Dominican Convent. He also had an open dialogue with our 17 theology students. Our Fr Provincial, Javier Gonzalez, OP, accompanied him to Macau from Hong Kong, where Fr. Vincent visited our two Dominican houses there.
Fr Vincent showed a keen interest for our work and mission. In his homily during the Mass he presided he told us that initially he was a member of our Province of Our Lady of the Rosary, before the Vietnam Province became an autonomous Province. He underlined the importance and relevance in the Dominican Order of our missionary Province, and he encouraged us to continue being faithful to our fore-fathers and to the many martyrs our Province has given to the Order and to the Church.
It was a short, sweet and pleasant visit of our brother Vincent, member of the Province of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, Vietnam. Fr. Vincent promised us another visit – this time, a longer one – to our Convent. Many, many thanks father for visiting us, and we joyfully expect your next visit. May you have a fruitful journeying through our Dominican missions in the Asia Pacific Region! And May our Queen of Martyrs and of the Rosary bless us all!
