We read in today's Vietnamese Catholic Website Vietcatholic with great regret the sad news of Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan's death and wish to send you our sincerest condolences.
His death is a great loss and that he is deeply mourned by Vietnameses and all who ever knew him.
Cardinal Nguyen Van Thuan will be long remembered in the world as one devoted his life to Our Lord Jesus Christ and to the service of mankind.His journey to Vietnamese Catholic Community in Russia is brighter example of God's Love last year.
We and those who have succeeded him in his work are very grateful for the standards he set and are
endeavoring to maintain them.We keep alive the memory and name of a distinguished Catholic and a good man and pray for him.
We should be very grateful if you could kindly convey our deepest sympathy to his mother Mrs.Ngo Dinh Thi Hiep and his sister Anne Ham Tieu.
Yours in Christ ,
Vietnamese Catholic Community in Russian Federation
