A Message from Lam Vo – Our Seminarian
Dear Parishioners,
As I completed my pastoral year at St. John XXIII Parish, my heart overflows with gratitude to God for the countless blessings, graces, and even the challenges He has lovingly given me through this beautiful community. Over these past thirteen months, you have welcomed me as family, walked beside me in faith, and gently helped to shape my vocation through your prayers, your example, and your love. I am especially grateful to Father Jay Raju, Father Jimmy Pham, Father Greg Dougherty, and all the staff members of St. John XXIII Parish for their patient guidance, encouragement, and fraternal support. Through your dedication to prayer and service, and your joyful witness to the Gospel, you have taught me lessons that I will carry in my heart for the rest of my life. You and this parish have become an inseparable part of my vocation and my life.
As I return to the seminary for my ongoing formation toward the sacred priesthood, I humbly request your ongoing prayers – that I may grow in holiness, wisdom, and zeal in accordance with the will of God and the heart of the Church. Please be assured of my continued prayers for you. May God bless you, your families, and this beloved parish, which will always remain a cherished spiritual home for me. THANK YOU!
Yours in Christ,
Lam Vo
