For the past years, parishioners in the commune have promoted fine traditions of solidarity and mutual assistance in raising families’ income and improving living standards, as well as boosting rural development and environment protection in the locality.    

Regarding the environmental protection, a waste collection team has been set up, and the dignitaries and parishioners of Yen Tri have not only focused on practical activities to keep their religious worshipping place green, clean and beautiful practices, but also played a pioneering role in the tree plantation and waste collection in residential areas.
