LAST BUT NOT LEAST! Father Joseph-Thien Dinh, SCJ
As
noted above, Fr. Joseph Dinh was the third of the three SCJs ordained to
the priesthood this summer. The ordination took place July 13 at Sacred Heart
Monastery/School of Theology in Hales Corners, Wis. Bishop Joseph Perry,
auxiliary bishop of Chicago, was the ordaining bishop and homilist.
Fr.
Joseph Dinh, 32, was born in Saigon, Vietnam, but has lived in the
United States since 1987. He
first began as a student with the Priests of the Sacred Heart in 1992.
He did his undergraduate studies at Incarnate Word University in
San Antonio and earned his master’s of divinity degree from Catholic
Theological Union in Chicago. In
December, he was ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Perry. Soon after his ordination, he began ministry at Our Lady of
Guadalupe parish in Houston. He
will continue there following his priestly ordination.

A Mass of Thanksgiving was held at Our Lady of the Snows in
Chicago, a parish where Fr. Joseph ministered at during his years at CTU,
on July 14. Another Mass of
Thanksgiving will be held in August at our Lady of Guadalupe. The Mass will incorporate Vietnamese, Spanish and English,
reflecting Fr. Joseph’s background and the culture of the people to
whom he ministers.
