The Mother of Perpetual Help Vietnamese Curia is preparing for its highly anticipated upcoming meeting, a sacred gathering dedicated to faith, fellowship, and apostolic service. As a vital branch of the Legion of Mary, the Curia plays an essential role in fostering spiritual growth and community outreach among Vietnamese Catholics. This upcoming gathering promises to be a time of profound renewal, bringing together dedicated members to reflect on their mission and strengthen their devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Meeting Date & Location
The Mother of Perpetual Help Vietnamese Curia meets on the 2nd Saturday of every month at 12:00 PM. Meetings are held in the Main Parish Room at St. Joseph Catholic Church (17080 Arrow Blvd, Fontana, CA 92335). A central hub for our local Vietnamese Catholic community, St. Joseph’s offers a spacious and prayerful atmosphere for our Legionaries to gather, pray, and plan our apostolic work.
Holding the meeting at this location allows attendees to transition easily from Saturday liturgy to the communal work of the Curia. The parish hall will be arranged with a beautiful altar dedicated to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, serving as the focal point for the afternoon’s devotionals. The location is easily accessible, with ample parking and clear signage to guide both returning members and first-time visitors to the designated meeting space.
To ensure the meeting begins on time and proceeds smoothly, participants are warmly encouraged to arrive at least fifteen to twenty minutes early. This early arrival window will offer a wonderful opportunity for informal fellowship, allowing members from different praesidia to reconnect over light refreshments. It also ensures that everyone is settled and spiritually prepared when the opening prayers of the Tessera commence.
Agenda & Spiritual Focus
At the heart of the upcoming meeting is a balanced agenda that harmonizes spiritual devotion with apostolic administration. The session will open with the traditional Legion of Mary prayers, including the recitation of the Holy Rosary and the Catena Legionis. This initial period of prayer is vital, as it unites the hearts of all present and invites the Holy Spirit to guide the discussions, decisions, and plans made throughout the afternoon.
Following the opening prayers, the meeting will transition into its administrative phase, which includes the reading of minutes and progress reports from various local praesidia. These reports are more than mere administrative tasks; they are a testament to the quiet, impactful work being done in the community, from visiting the sick to teaching catechism. Members will have the opportunity to share their successes, discuss challenges, and collaborate on upcoming charitable initiatives and outreach programs.
A central highlight of the agenda will be the Allocutio, a brief spiritual address delivered by the Curia’s spiritual director. This reflection will focus on the virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary, particularly her role as the Mother of Perpetual Help, and how legionaries can emulate her humility and obedience in their daily lives. This spiritual nourishment is designed to inspire and re-energize the members, sending them back to their respective parishes with a renewed zeal for their apostolic mission.
Invitation to Legionaries & Parishioners
An earnest invitation is extended to all active legionaries within the Mother of Perpetual Help Vietnamese Curia to prioritize this meeting. Your presence and active participation are crucial to the vitality of our collective mission and the success of our shared apostolic endeavors.

Furthermore, auxiliary members and interested parishioners are warmly invited to attend this gathering as guests.
