Our Ministries
Our Lady of La Vang was established to bring the Vietnamese people together as a Catholic faith community. We are united with the Catholic Church throughout the world. We strive to be a grateful community as we follow Christ by loving God, our neighbors, and ourselves. Our actions are through our words, our deeds, and our thoughts.
We are grateful people because Jesus Christ has touched our lives. We will proclaim His gospel and will be His church. We recognize and support a responsibility to the large community of the Diocese of Charleston and to the world.
Our community life will be center on the Eucharist. We seek to live out that belief as a community of worship, of shared faith, and of service where each member shares with others the gift and talent received from God.

Rửa Tội | Baptism
Receive the Sacrament of Baptism. In baptism, God's saving grace, His very presence, enters into the human soul. The essential rite of baptism is very simple. The person celebrating the sacrament (usually a priest) says 'I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit' while pouring water over the head of the person receiving the sacrament or dipping the person in water. For Catholics, baptism is the sacrament of salvation and the door to all other sacraments. (Bilingual) Tiếng Việt và tiếng Anh
Rước Lễ Lần Đầu | First Communion
Receive the Sacrament of First Communion. Those who partake in the Eucharist receive the real Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ in what appears to be bread and wine. During Mass, regular bread and wine are consecrated by the priest, through God's power, when he repeats Jesus's words, 'This is My Body' and 'This is the chalice of My Blood.'

Giáo Lý Thêm Sức | Confirmation
Receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation provides a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which helps the confirmed Catholic witness to Christ and lead a mature Christian life. The rite of confirmation, usually performed by a bishop, involves the anointing with chrism (holy oil), the laying on of hands, and the words 'Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.'

Xưng Tội | Confession
Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. In reconciliation, which is also called 'confession' or 'penance,' a Catholic confesses his or her sins to a priest in the spirit of true repentance and receives forgiveness. The priest acts as a visible representative of Christ, who forgives sins through Him, when he says the words of absolution: 'I absolve you of your sins in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.'
