The Diocese of Vinh, Vietnam, ordained 34 new priests on July 25, and Bishop Alphonso Nguyen Huu Long says he has decided to send half of these new priests to needy dioceses.
According to the Fides agency, the bishop said that his diocese is "happy to share this precious gift with places where people desperately need a priest."
The expression Fidei Donum is Latin for ‘the Gift of Faith.’ This is the name of the 1957 encyclical of Pius XII, which called on all bishops “to face the challenges of the universal mission of the Church,” not only by means of prayer and assisting each other but also by making priests available to other dioceses, countries, and continents.
