This June six Maryknoll Fathers leave for new mission assignments, and Father Hung Minh Dinh, ordained on May 31, 2008, is one of them.
Father Dinh begins his new mission with these hopeful words: "I believe I have Christ within me."
Father Dinh has had a grace-filled journey to Maryknoll. He was born in Hue, Vietnam on August 1, 1966 during the height of the Vietnam war. He immigrated to the United States where he pursued degrees in philosophy and religious studies. His call to Maryknoll soon followed.
As a seminarian Father Dinh's first mission assignment was in Tanzania where he lived among the Watatulu people. "Their lives are so simple," says Father Dinh. "They suffer from disease and hunger. But at the same time they long for something beyond the material." View a gallery of photos of Father Dinh in Overseas Training
