THE SISTERS OF MOTHER TERESA MIGHT BE BACK IN VIETNAM

Ho Chi Minh City – The Sisters of Mother Teresa might be back in Vietnam to perform social and pastoral work after being banned for years, this after Sister Nirmala, superior of the Missionaries of Charity, recently made a visit to the diocese of Hanoi.

On June 8, officials responsible for the Vietnamese government’s religious policy asked the religieuse to prepare a plan of activities that her congregation might undertake. Once prepared it would go to the departments of Religious affairs and of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs for review.

Sister Maria François Ha Thanh Tinh, who heads the Charity of Jesus Congregation, a group active in Vietnam and inspired by Mother Teresa’s spirituality, told AsiaNews that after the meeting between the Superior and Dhang Tai Than, head of the Religious Affairs Committee in Hanoi, the latter said that his “government had the intention of backing the activities of the Missionaries of Charity in the country.”
