As the academic year begins in schools throughout the region, I ask you to welcome a student who has come to live in our convent as she begins her studies at Villanova University. Sr. Theresa Ho Nguyen, a member of the Lovers of the Holy Cross community, arrived just last week and immediately began her studies in Christian Spirituality and Sacred Scriptures. Sr. Ho is originally from Son Tay, a suburb of Hanoi, Vietnam. She entered the Lovers of the Holy Cross community and was sent to study pastoral theology at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. Having completing her studies there, she has been sent to continue her studies here. You’ll see her at Mass and around our parish and I’m confident that you will make her most welcome in our community.
