Every Sunday, the Saint John Vianney Church in Louisville, Kentucky, is filled with the aromas of savory and delicious Vietnamese food, as mothers, grandmothers, fathers, and grandfathers come together to prepare and serve hundreds of meals to their community. For over 20 years, this dedicated group of individuals has been raising funds for the church through their weekly meal service, and in doing so, they have become an inspiring example of what it means to live God through action.
Pastor Anthony Chinh Ngo has been leading the Saint John Vianney Church for many years and has seen firsthand the impact that this weekly meal service has had on the community. He has seen how it has brought people together, bridged cultural divides, and created a sense of belonging and unity that is truly special.
The rotating menu of traditional Vietnamese recipes, featuring Pho and a variety of Vietnamese noodles, is a true celebration of the culinary heritage of this vibrant community. The meals are not only delicious, but they are also affordable, making them accessible to everyone who wants to join in this weekly celebration of community and faith.
For the young generation of today, the dedication and commitment of these mothers, grandmothers, fathers, and grandfathers serves as a powerful example of what it means to live a life that is truly lived for God. Their tireless efforts and the love they put into each and every meal is a testament to the deep roots of their faith, and a source of inspiration to us all.
It is with a call to action that we invite the community to support this incredible group of individuals, and to join them in celebrating the heart of community that they embody. By purchasing a delicious and truly tasteful meal on Sunday after the two Masses at 9am and 11am, we can show our support and gratitude for their ongoing efforts.
In a world that can often feel divided, the Saint John Vianney Church serves as a shining example of what is possible when we come together as a community, and put our faith into action. May their inspiring story serve as a reminder that even the smallest acts of love and service can have a profound impact on those around us.
