Bishop Louis Nguyen Anh Tuan, Apostolic Administrator of Ha Tinh Diocese, ordained 5 Franciscan deacons to the priesthood, 14 Franciscan scholastics, and a Jesuit scholastic to the Diaconate on April 11, 2021 in ceremonies at a chapel of Franciscans in Thu Duc city, Vietnam. 

During his homily, Bishop Tuan invited the candidates to be instruments of the Lord’s peace, as well as to engage fully in the task of making the Risen Lord known to the world by all that they do and say.
