Reverend Sister Superior General,
And all the Sisters members of the Congregation of The Daughters of Mary
Immaculate of Hue.

As Pastor of the Archdiocese of Hue, I wish to take this opportunity to share
with all of you your great joy, in Thanksgiving and in union of prayer, at this
Celebration of the Centennial of your Congregation’s Birthday.
From the fortunate time of its foundation by Monsignor Eugene Marie
Joseph Allys (Ly), and by his Associate Monsignor Paul Marie Chabannon
(Giao), with favorable consent of their devoted successors, especially of the
former Archbishop Stephan Nguyen Nhu The and Archbishop Francis Le Van
Hong, your dear Congregation, although having had experienced numerous
ups and downs due to the nation’s history, has continued to find its way to
develop its personnel as well as its apostolic activities. Your Congregation
has been present in all walks of life of many different dioceses in Viet-Nam,
and has even extended its roots to some cities abroad. In a very special way,
in different environments of the Archdiocese of Hue, your Congregation has
walked alongside with sereral parishes, with multiple apostolic goals, with the
poor, the sick, the lonely, the unfortunate, the old and the youth... In all of
these numerous facets of apostolic works, your sisters know how to hold high
their ideal behavior as “Daughters of Mary Immaculate”, detached and chaste,
following their Mother Immaculate, clean and pure.
The “Daughters of Mary Immaculte”, yesterday as well as today, starting off
the same road, aiming at the same direction and with the same goal, has
chosen for precept for its Holy Year 2019-2020: “Advance in the Holy Spirit
“ (Gl 5,12)
That is the proof that God has endowed His Special Grace to the Congregation’s
Itinerary throughout these hundred years. That is also the proof that the
Congregation has offered the Archdiocese of Hue a great contribution. That
is also the proof of the Congregation’s spirit of cooperation, of solidarity and
union with the society and the Catholic Church.
Therefore, on behalf of the Archdiocese of Hue who does recognize the
great contribution by countless generations that “The Daughters of Mary
Immaculate” have offered to the Archdiocese in the past as well as in the
present, I respectfully express my deep gratitude to your dear Congregation
