Tien Long Caodai parish under the Tay Ninh Caodai Church in Ben Tre province’s Chau Thanh district held on November 4 the ground-breaking ceremony for the reconstruction of its Divine Mother worshipping temple.  

Present at the event included Cardinal President of the Tay Ninh Caodai Church Thượng Tám Thanh, Bishop Chairman of the Caodai Church’s Representative Committee in Ben Tre province Ngọc Gắt Thanh, local authorities’ representatives, and 1,000 Caodai followers and visitors in Ben Tre and neighboring provinces.

Tien Long Caodai parish was established in 1964 and built its worshipping oratory by semi-solid materials which has seriously deteriorated and no longer met current needs of religious practices by local followers. In May 2020, provincial authorities approved for the Caodai parish to rebuild its Divine Mother worshipping temple with two floors on an area of 483.2 square meters.
