New Year With Father Dom

Join Father Dom in his New Year celebration.

A Restored Place of Worship

A Restored Place of Worship

Father Dom stands in the center aisle of the Church of the Vietnamese Martyrs, now fully restored, post-Katrina. The sanctuary was flooded, but only one of its beautiful stained glass windows broke, even though he just had time to tape them―not board them up―before the hurricane.

When we visited with Father Dom in Biloxi, he sang the beautiful “Prayer of St. Francis” in Vietnamese. We asked if he knew “Amazing Grace.” He flashed a big smile and exclaimed, “Oh, yes!”
