We are fortunate to have seminarian Than Pham with us here at Parish of the Holy Eucharist for the next month. Than is from Vietnam and arrived here from Ho Chi Minh City 4 months ago to study at St, John’s Seminary in Massachusetts. Because of the Communist Regime in Vietnam he was
unable to enter the priesthood there so will be studying in the United States and will become one of our Diocesan priests here in Maine. He is now learning English, and will begin his study of philosophy and theology next year.
Than comes from a large family with 8 brothers and sisters, one of his sisters is nun in Connecticut. He has a degree in psychology and was working in that field before entering the seminary. We are grateful to have him here with us, so please welcome him to our parish family.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
