Catholic Students in Vietnam Respond COVID-19

Sch. Dominic Phan Van Quynh, SJ, accompanied the students to provide food and essentials of the parish for poor families and the elderly amid COVID-19. According to Quynh, the purpose of this program is to help the students to imitate Jesus Christ, who always loves and shows concern for the poor.
