On September 4, Archbishop non-resident Special Envoy of the Vatican to Vietnam Leopoldo Girelli chaired the consecration ceremony for inaugurating Thanh Tam charitable home for children with disabilities and orphans in Xuy Xa Parish under Thanh Oai Deanery of Hanoi Archdiocese.
Joining with the Vatican Archbishop included Priest Director of Hanoi Caritas Bruno Phạm Bá Quế, Priest Deputy Director of Hanoi Caritas Paul Nguyễn Văn Đoàn, members of Vincent de Paul charity group, and Chairman of Association of Santino Zucchelli Onlus’ friends in Italia Ginami – main sponsor for the charitable home.
The dedication ceremony of the charitable home took place on the same day as Mother Teresa was canonized as Saint Teresa of Calcutta by the Catholic Church. In his second visit to the parish, Archbishop Leopoldo Girelli also shared the meaning of Holy water and trinity role in Baptism.
