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
