I Thirst (John 19:28)

Just as He thirsts for us on the Cross, our heart longs for Him daily.

“I Thirst”

These two words from John 19:28 are a great reminder of the Lord’s thirst for us and our thirst for Him. Let us, therefore, try to satiate His loving thirst for humanity through our own genuine self-gift and humble service to our brothers and sisters, especially the poorest of the poor. (more)

Purpose & Mission

I go by “Father Khoi” because we call each other by our first name in Vietnamese. By the (unimaginable) grace of God, our family was given the opportunity to immigrate to the United States. I grew up and went to elementary, middle, and high schools in Kansas. After graduation, I moved to Texas to begin my priestly formation. I love being a priest. Is it easy? The answer is no, but the journey is filled with many blessings. (more)
