HRCS WELCOMES FR. DUC

Mrs. Amy Ashmun’s students had the honor of welcoming our new Shepherd, Fr. Duc Bui, to HRCS. Fr. Duc was born during the Vietnam War. He was 8 years old when his family escaped Vietnam and arrived safely in Malaysia. Fr. Duc professed his vow in 1990 and began doing missionary work throughout the world. He joined the Diocese of Houma Thibodaux in 2016. We are looking forward to his guidance and leadership!
