It has been said that man by nature is vain and conceited. While we continue our temporary journey in this world, we will be going after so many things (after so many things: riches, fame, glory, reputation, etc.) Yet, we usually end up empty because we wil not be satisfied. Sadly, we crave for more than what is enough of these temporal things. We will still be facing for that something that will fulfill us, for that somebody who will give us peace and contentment.  And who is this something? Who is this somebody? He is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ.

It cannot be denied that we do have particular roles to play in this life. But sad to say. we cannot strictly do it among ourselves. We do need the services of God's ministers and his church. Perhaps, God has blessed us with unique gifts and talents, but we are humanly limited. Thus, we need priests and devoted God's ministers to act as shepherds over his flocks in this turbulent world.

As members of God's venerable and living church, we have with us in our midst, our very Rev. Fr. Dinh. He is humbly task to be watchful and alert and to take care of our erring lives, to be responsible for our actions so we may become the radiantly beautiful souls God has meant us to be.

Now the time is nigh for him to say goodbye leaving us behind as he is slated to pursue his studies in Italy. Doubtless to say, no words perfectly describe the actual feeling do we have now as an impact of Fr. Dinh's scheduled transfer far beyond our sight.

Verily, it is indeed heart breaking, so much so, bearing in mind that he had been so close to us. He had painstakingly rubbed elbows with us in order to pass the word around to preach the divine gospel of the Lord. Those are the memories that linger long when imprinted deep in hearts, the fun and the laughters of love and understanding, yes, all the world seems so sad and weary as we utter the words goodbye. Von voyage, good luck, and good health. We will miss you. Hasta la vista. Til we meet again, Fr. Quoc Dinh Nguyen!!!

Jesus Christ once said to apostle Peter, "Peter, upon this rock I will build my church."

Sometime in the morning of October 22, 2011, last year, the ground breaking and blessing of the site of our proposed church edifice took place amidst a slight downpour. Such an unforgettable event and ceremony which was well attended by a group of Catholic devotees who braved the rain, was spearheaded and officiated by no less than our faithful God's servants Rev. Fr. John Warret and Fr. Quoc Dinh Nguyen.

At long last, for only after a brief period of 7 months our new church edifice has finally, definitely and proudly risen.

Such an endeavor and accomplishment was quite a great revelation in itself for that matter.  Just think of it!  Such a gigantic task was completed and accomplished for only a matter of seven months. No doubt that Japanese construction ranks quality among the top of the world. But, also this has something to do with individuals endowed with golden hearts.  As always perceived, we have particular roles to play in this life, one way or another.  God has blessed us with unique talents.  We will be great not in comparison with others but only by being the radiantly beautiful person God has meant us to be.
