After the Vietnamese Youth Convention in July 2009 the leaders who organized the trip for the Seattle group and some of the participants were inspired to organize more activities for ALL the Catholic youth and young adults in our Seattle Catholic Community. Their minds were overflowing with ideas on types of activities to lead, of which some ideas were:

 

-A Vietnamese Catholic Youth Mass with special speakers
-An annual camping trip for all the youth from different groups to meet and participate in activities
-An annual retreat for all the youth from different groups to come and share their Catholic faith
-Lead and participate in various community service projects

 

Because of all the spirit and great ideas from the youth in our community, the Seattle Vietnamese Catholic Community added their support and set forth a mission to open Van Phong Gioi Tre Cong Giao (Office of the Vietnamese Catholic Youths). This office/committee would consist of people in the community coming together with the sole mission/purpose of working for the youth; to organize and unify all the Catholic youth to celebrate their faith and contribute to the community. The newly formed office/committee hope to be a great resource for all the great youth groups and program in our community that currently exist.

 

“I am the Vine, you are the branches” Jn 15:5

 

There is only one bread one body and we do all things through Him and for Him.

 

Please join us to create a stronger community in Christ—and let us show what we, the youth, can accomplish when we are united in Christ.
