Dear Chaplains, Chaplain Assistants, Youth Leaders, and Knights of 

the Eucharist, 

 

Happy Easter!  As we look forward to our Knight of Eucharist Na‐

tional Convention, may the spirit of the Risen Christ kindle the fire 

of His love in each one of us and re‐create us in body, mind and 

spirit as individuals and as the whole Vietnamese Eucharistic 

Youth Society. As we hear in the Easter story, the disciples were in 

fear, lost in direction, hope and faith in themselves. The spirit of the Risen Christ gath‐

ered them together and rekindled in them faith, hope and their love for God and for 

people. I feel and believe the spirit of the Risen Lord blessing our VEYS with our Knights 

of the Eucharist who are full of life, faith and energy. 

 

Your enthusiastic response to the registration process for the national convention dur‐

ing these past few weeks is highly praised.  Your actions filled us all with much hope 

and excitement. 

 

I look forward to joining you at the convention. Please continue to cooperate with the 

Spirit of God through small acts of kindness to one another. This will be our spiritual 

bouquet to pray for a fruitful national convention. 

 

Kindle in us the fire of God's love! 

 

Rev. Hung Nguyen, OFM 

Convention Chaplain
