New converts from the Hmong community attend the Way of the Cross at Hong Ngai sub-parish on April 7. Their parish in Mai Yen in Son La province is 70 kilometres away. Hundreds of new converts from the indigenous Hmong community in Vietnam held Holy Week celebrations for the first time this year.
The new converts, assisted by a seminarian and a nun, decorated a small chapel, which was built in March this year, with images of the Way of the Cross and the Sacred Heart, Fr Lien added. The Hmong people are an indigenous group mainly found in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, and China. In Mai Yen, many of the parishioners live far away from the parish church and are not in a position to attend services. The distance between Hong Ngai sub-parish, where new converts had their first Easter encounter, and Mai Yen parish is 70 kilometres. Hung Hoa Diocese in Bac Yen district of the northwestern mountainous province of Son La, covers 10 provinces and serves 245,000 Catholics, including 20,000 from the Hmong community.
