This Sunday, I had the joy of celebrating Holy Mass at our cathedral and, a few hours later, presiding at the Rite of Election at Our Lady of La Vang in Happy Valley, a former Protestant megachurch now serving the Vietnamese Catholic community and hosting more than 8,000 at their Sunday Masses. Because our cathedral could not accommodate the more than 2,000 attendees, they graciously hosted us as we welcomed 615 of the 1,600 adults preparing for full communion with the Catholic Church this Easter. As a local Church, I ask all the faithful to keep these men and women in your prayers in a special way this Lent as they continue their journey of faith.
