Church mourns Fr. Matthew, superior, and "soul" of the Redemptorists in Hanoi
He died at age 76 on the evening of 2 March. He was a member of the congregation for 53 years and a priest for 46. Under his leadership, the Redemptorists have brought support to the marginalized and the poorest in Vietnam. According to the faithful, his was a cry in the wilderness: "Even if society does not change - he said - we change as does our awareness of our responsibility."
