Redemptorists Celebrate Lunar New Year 2022 in Kansas City
-
February 11, 2022We are pleased to share a few of photographer Thanh Bui’s photos of the Lunar New Year celebration at Church of the Holy Martyrs in Kansas City.
Fr. Francis Pham, pastor, and Fr. Thanh Nguyen, associate pastor, welcomed Bishop James Vann Johnston, Jr. of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph (left) and a host of others to a special liturgy ushering in the 2022 Year of the Water Tiger.
Pictured below are Fr. Thanh Nguyen, C.Ss.R., watching as Bishop James Vann Johnston, Jr. distributes traditional red envelopes; Fr. Francis Pham, C.Ss.R., accepts a gift for the New Year; the Lion Dance that brings good luck and fortune; and Bishop Johnston accepting the basket of red envelopes. The last two pictures show the Lunar New Year dance at it's finish.
