After meeting Fr. Anthony, I received a call from Fr. John Tran who lives in Long Beach, California. He invited me to have lunch with him. What a joy it was indeed. His experience is quite unique. Before becoming a priest, he was married and had 3 children. After going through a painful divorce he felt that God was calling him to the priesthood. He consulted with his children and nobody saw any difficulties with him joining the seminary. And so it happened that he was ordained for the Diocese of Los Angeles not too long ago. What a story! Fr. John is already saying mass in Spanish and even Tagalog. He would like to improve his Spanish skills to better serve the people. He exudes such a profound desire to live his priesthood. I think he is a great addition to our Vietnamese group.
