5 SAINT ANDREW DŨNG-LAC AND COMPANIONS ( ) Patron Saint of homes Feast Day - November 24 Andrew Dung-Lac was one of 117 people martyred in Vietnam between 1820 and Members of this group were beatified on four different occasions between 1900 and All were canonized by St. John Paul II. Christianity came to Vietnam (then three separate kingdoms) through the Portuguese. Jesuits opened the first permanent mission at Da Nang in They ministered to Japanese Catholics who had been driven from Japan. The king of one of the kingdoms banned all foreign missionaries and tried to make all Vietnamese deny their faith by trampling on a crucifix. Like the priest-holes in Ireland during English persecution, many hiding places were offered in homes of the faithful. Severe persecutions were again launched three times in the 19th century. During the six decades after 1820, between 100,000 and 300,000 Catholics were killed or subjected to great hardship. Foreign missionaries martyred in the first wave included priests of the Paris Mission Society, and Spanish Dominican priests and tertiaries. Persecution broke out again in 1847 when the emperor suspected foreign missionaries and Vietnamese Christians of sympathizing with a rebellion led by of one of his sons. The last of the martyrs were 17 laypersons, one of them a 9-year-old, executed in That year a treaty with France guaranteed religious freedom to Catholics, but it did not stop all persecution. These martyrs gave their lives not only for the Church but for their country as well. We are in need of Ministers to the Homebound. Homebound ministers bring the Eucharist to parishioners who, either through illness or physical difficulty, are unable to attend Mass. If you feel God may be calling you to this important ministry, please call Sue Platt Are you interested in becoming CATHOLIC? Are you an adult Catholic missing any of your sacraments? Please come to the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) Classes are every Tuesday at 6:30 pm, Room 105 THIS WEEK S TOPICS: The Blessed Trinity; God The Father; The Sacramental Economy You don t have to be enrolled in these classes to come and hear about a topic! All are welcome! For more information, please call Lynne Avitia at Living God s Word No one likes transitions. They re filled with pain, and they re unsettling and confusing and demand that we surrender control. But that is when God comes. At such moments a great peace rushes in and faith in God is renewed simply because faith in ourselves does not work anymore. At that point we come face to face with God.
