The First Seeds from Vietnam
Servants of Charity 
Dear Confreres in Vietnam, I’m a lay missionary in Germany who follows your pioneer
work in this beautiful and ancient country every month. During my seminary time I was dreaming to go as a priest
to Saigon/Ho Chi Mihn City.God bless your apostolate. Speak with Fr Joe Rinaldo in order to set up
some practical projects for you over there and we will do our best to raise funds for them in Germany
We pray for you young hope of the congregation for the future!
Put all your efforts in the hands of Mother Maria. She will surely find audience for it in her beloved Son Jesus
With love and great respect to you from German-Italian friends.
Yours in Christ, Gero Lombardo
