Visit to Parish of Huay Tong
11 June - Fr Gustavo and Fr Enrico, accompanied by Fr Chan and Br Pichet, left Chiang Mai for a three-day trip that took them to visit the Betharramite communities in the Chiang Mai area.
The first stop was the parish of Huay Tong, where they were welcomed by Fr Pornchai and Fr Hiran. During a short walk in the village, Fr. Gustavo was able to see how much our first missionaries are still remembered by the current population. In fact, in the village there is a statue of Fr Severino Fognini scj and his catechist, the first to be baptized in the village of Huay Tong. The following morning mass (solemnity of the Holy Trinity) offered visitors the opportunity to meet the Christian community. The solemn concelebration was presided over by Fr. Chan. Fr. Enrico offered a short homily with simultaneous translation by Fr. Ponchai.
