Soleminidad del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo (Corpus Christi)
"Yo soy el pan vivo que ha bajado del cielo, dice el Señor;
el que coma de este pan vivirá para siempre."
Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word:
Genesis 14:18–20 Over bread and wine, the mysterious Melchizedek blessed the Lord.
Psalm 110 "You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek."
1 Corinthians 11:23–26 Every time we eat the Lord's body and drink his blood, we proclaim his life-giving death.
Luke 9:11b–17 The feeding of the multitudes
From ancient times, wheat was ground into flour and baked into bread, and grapes were crushed into juice and allowed to ferment into wine. Bread and wine became staples of the human diet, creating a simple meal that could be shared with others. Salem's king served them to a victorious Abram, pairing the bread and wine with a call for God's blessing. At the Last Supper, Jesus blessed the bread and wine and shared them with his disciples as his body and blood. Let us thank God for the simple gifts of wheat and grapes, which are transformed to satisfy our every hunger, our every thirst. ~from Pastoral Patterns, Summer 2022
Introducción a la Liturgia de la Palabra
Génesis 14:18–20; Salmo 110; 1 Corintios 11:23–26; Lucas 9:11–17
Desde tiempos antiquísimos el trigo se molía para hacerlo harina y se horneaba para hacer el pan, y las uvas se aplastaban para exprimir el jugo que se dejaba fermentar y hacerlo vino. El pan y el vino eran lo básico en el régimen alimenticio humano y se convertían en una comida sencilla que podía compartirse con los demás. El rey de Salem le sirvió pan y vino a un Abram victorioso, por quien a la vez pidió una bendición de Dios. En la Última Cena Jesús bendijo el pan y el vino, y lo compartió con sus discípulos como su cuerpo y su sangre. Demos gracias a Dios por los dones sencillos del trigo y las uvas, que se transforman para satisfacer toda nuestra hambre y toda nuestra sed. ~de las publicaciones de WLP Gia, Palabras Pastorales Verano 2022

San José Clinic, the original safety-net clinic in Houston, has steadfastly grown into a leading provider of quality healthcare services for individuals and families in the Greater Houston and Fort Bend County areas who struggle the most with accessing care.
The Clinic began with the vision of Monsignor Walsh, a donation of $50 from the Charity Guild of Catholic Women, and volunteers from the community, who all came together with the same hope of breaking down barriers to healthcare for the underserved.
For one hundred years, San José Clinic has been committed to providing healing through quality healthcare and education with respect and compassion for those with limited access to care.

A message from your new pastor:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
My name is Giovanni Hung Nguyen. DOB: January 25, 1959, in Saigon, Southern Vietnam. My Father, Mr. Boniface Huy Nguyen passed away 20 years ago, and My Mother, Mrs. Therese Hong Nguyen passed away 12 years ago in Vietnam. I am the third child in a family of ten children. Five females and five males. The youngest brother died at birth. I have a younger brother who lives in the Tomball area with his family. The youngest sister lives in Australia with her family. And my seven siblings are living in Saigon Southern Vietnam with their families.
I joined the Vietnamese Dominican Order from 1975 to 2010. I left Vietnam in 1998 to study. I was ordained into the priesthood on October 14, 2000, by Dominican Order in Napoli, Italy. And I went to Rome to study Canon Law at Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas – Angelicum from 2000 to 2004.
Before joining the Archdiocese of Galveston – Houston in 2009, I was a priest belonging to the Dominican Order, Province of Vietnam. When joining the Archdiocese of Galveston – Houston, I was immediately and officially accepted into the diocese without having to go through a probation period. My first assignment was parochial vicar at Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church, located at 10610 Kings point Rd, Houston, Texas 77075. (From April 2010 to August 2014)
My second assignment was parochial vicar at St. Michael The Archangel Roman Catholic Church in Lake Jackson, Texas; from August 2014 to June 2017.
I attended the New Priest Training Program at St. Mary Seminary which contains six modules. The program ended in May 2017.
My third assignment was as parochial vicar at St. Cecilia Catholic Church in Houston, from July 2017 to December 2018. My fourth assignment was as parochial vicar at Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church, from December 2018 until now. (Second term at the same Church)
Presently, I just accepted a new assignment at Christ Our Light Catholic Church in Navasota and St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church in Anderson as an administrator appointed by Daniel Cardinal Dinardo, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
I am looking forward to meeting all the brothers and sisters of the two parishes where I am going to come for service as a minister of Christ's love and yours.
May Jesus, Christ Our Light lead us with the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Saint Stanislaus Kostka bless you all.
Sincerely Yours,
Rev. Giovanni Hung Nguyen

Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Mi nombre es Giovanni Hung Nguyen. Nací el 25 de enero de 1959 en Saigón, Vietnam del Sur. Mi padre, el Sr. Boniface Huy Nguyen falleció hace 20 años, y mi madre, la Sra. Therese Hong Nguyen falleció hace 12 años en Vietnam. Soy el tercer hijo de una familia de diez hijos. Cinco hembras y cinco varones. El hermano menor murió al nacer. Tengo un hermano menor que vive en el área de Tomball con su familia y una hermana menor que vive en Australia con su familia. Mis otros siete hermanos viven en Saigón, Vietnam del Sur, con sus familias.
Me uní a la Orden Dominicana Vietnamita de 1975 a 2010. Salí de Vietnam en 1998 para estudiar. Fui ordenado sacerdote el 14 de octubre de 2000 por la Orden de los Dominicos en Nápoles, Italia. Fui a Roma para estudiar Derecho Canónico en la Universidad Pontificia de Santo Tomás de Aquino – Angelicum de 2000 a 2004.
Antes de unirme a la Arquidiócesis de Galveston – Houston en 2009, fui sacerdote perteneciente a la Orden Dominicana, Provincia de Vietnam. Cuando me uní a la Arquidiócesis de Galveston – Houston, fui aceptado inmediata y oficialmente en la diócesis sin tener que pasar por un período de prueba.
Mi primera asignación fue como vicario parroquial en la Iglesia Católica Vietnamita Mártires, ubicada en 10610 Kings Point RD, Houston, Texas 77075; de abril de 2010 a agosto de 2014. Mi segunda asignación fue como vicario parroquial en la Iglesia Católica Romana San Miguel el Arcángel en Lake Jackson, Texas; de agosto de 2014 a junio de 2017. Asistí al Programa de Capacitación para Nuevos Sacerdotes en el Seminario St. Mary que contiene seis módulos. El programa finalizó en mayo de 2017. Mi tercera asignación fue como vicario parroquial en la Iglesia Católica St. Cecilia en Houston, de julio de 2017 a diciembre de 2018. Mi cuarta asignación fue como vicario parroquial en la Iglesia Católica Vietnamita Mártires, desde diciembre de 2018 hasta ahora. (Segundo término en la misma Iglesia)
Actualmente, acabo de aceptar una nueva asignación en la Iglesia Católica Cristo Nuestra Luz en Navasota y en la Iglesia Católica San Stanislaus Kostka en Anderson como administrador designado por el Cardenal Daniel Dinardo, arzobispo de la Arquidiócesis de Galveston-Houston. Espero reunirme con todos los hermanos y hermanas de las dos parroquias donde voy a venir para servir como ministro del amor de Cristo y suyo.
Que Jesucristo Nuestra Luz nos guíe con la intercesión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, y San Estanislao Kostka los bendiga a todos.
De ustedes sinceramente,
P. Giovanni Hung Nguyen
