From the beginning, the Hong An Association composed this daily aspiration to God: “If our work pleases you and is beneficial to many people please continue to preserve and expand what you have started. God bless the benefactors, Sisters and the poor people we are serving.”
Additionally, the Hong An Association enrolls perpetually for daily prayers and monthly masses from several different Congregations of Sisters:
1. Sisters of Mary Queen of Bui-Chu,
2. Daughters of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of Bui-Chu,
3. Dominican Sisters of Bac-Ninh,
4. Daughters of Our Lady of Unity of Bac-Ninh,
5. Sisters of the Lovers of the Holy Cross of Hue,
6. Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena of Xuan-Loc)
to pray for all the benefactors who contribute to helping the poor.
The Sisters of these 6 Congregations will pray for all the benefactors as follows:
– 23 Masses every month.
Msgr. Joseph Hoang Minh Thang will also celebrate 30 Masses a year for the intentions of all the benefactors of the Hong An Association.
This is a total of 308+ Masses each year! Add to those blessings 1793 prayers said by the Sisters every day. In addition, the poor who are helped by the Association agree to show their gratitude by praying for the benefactors. (Updated by Oct. 2020)
