Trieu writes: in the last few days, I visited our brother Albert Chan who lives in the retirement village which is looked after by the sisters of St Paul de Chartres. Then he took me to the Sacred Heart Chinese Community Centre.

I met the new chaplain there. He is a Redemptorist who is Vietnamese Chinese.

I came to attend the mass with them on Sunday and was able to chat with them, and, of course, handed out the vocation promotion souvenirs. Then I joined them for the Corpus Christi procession at the Cathedral of Brisbane.

It was a blessing for me to catch up with our brothers here, especially Albert and know more the foundation of the community.
