Fr. John Baptist Pham Dinh Khoi passed away
Sai Gon, Vietnam, 14 April 2018 -- The Province of St. John Bosco of Vietnam-Mongolia sadly informs that Rev. Fr. John Baptist PHAM DINH KHOI has passed away at 15:45 on April 14, 2018.
To be sure, he was a good Salesian priest, zealous to serve God's people. He was ready to the responsibilities entrusted to him by the Superior. Many young Salesians in Vietnam have been benefitted under his guidance. The Province believes that Don Bosco will welcome him to the Salesian garden of holiness, because he has been faithful to the end. God in his mercy will say to him: "Well-done my servant. Come and enjoy your eternal happiness with me."
