fr. Tuyen Nguyen,
Homily,
Ash Wednesday,
Christ Cathedral ...so the 6:30am service was in Vietnamese...although Fr. Nguyen also delivered the homily in English...; the Vietnamese community in Garden Grove (& nearby areas) is very active in the catholic church (also at Holy Spirit Fountain Valley & St. Columban GG) ...I often enjoy the Vietnamese services even though they are not in English (or sometimes because they are not in English)...as I can simply contemplate & pray and think about God rather than have to be analytical about what is being said ...plus most of the Vietnamese parishioners are very nice & friendly...although once in a while I notice a bit of anti-Anglo bias from a few of them (fortunately not many, not often)
