Every year as the weather turns cold, nature changes its colours too and the streets of Long Dien are bustling with activity as people begin to decorate mangers with colourful lights to welcome the Prince of Peace – Jesus.
On the evening of December 22nd 2022, the Sisters and Associates organized a special night of celebration for over 320 immigrant workers from the cashew factories. Father Joseph opened the evening, speaking about the hardships of daily living especially after the Covid-19 pandemic and wished all a peace-filled Christmas and New Year.
This night everyone shared in the joy of Christmas through dance, songs and games. The joy was so vibrant, a bustling atmosphere which was hard to stop.
The Christmas party closed with a prayer of thanks to God with all joining in the singing of “Christmas Eve”. Our guests left each with a small gift and a smile on their faces. Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
