Mission

Our mission is to preserve and uphold a sacred space dedicated to honoring and advancing the canonization process of Father Truong Buu Diep a Catholic priest who was martyred during World War II in Vietnam for his courageous act of saving 70 innocent lives. Following his death countless individuals have reported experiencing graces and miracles attributed to his intercession. As a result an increasing number of faithful believers regard Father Diep as a powerful spiritual intercessor who conveys their prayers to God in times of hardship. Consequently this site has become a revered place of pilgrimage serving as both a temple and a sanctuary where people come to pray and seek comfort through Father Dieps spiritual presence.
