WELCOME!

SAINT DOMINIC MAU, PRIEST

During the anti-Christian persecutions of emperor Tu-Dac in 19th century Vietnam, Saint Dominic (Daminh), priest, a native of Vietnam, born in 1794, exercised his apostolic ministry for a long time and with enthusiasm. He particularly promoted the praying of the Rosary.

He ended up being captured and was locked up in prison. In captivity, the Dominican continued to do his utmost for the good of souls, comforting and assisting Catholics who suffered imprisonment with him and meditating intensely and praying. St Dominic was condemned to death.

AS IF HE WAS GOING TO THE ALTAR

On November 5, 1858, the death sentence was carried out in the city of Hung Yen. With a serene countenance, he was led with joined hands, as if he were going to the altar, to the martyrdom of beheading for Christ, accused of having worn the Rosary in public and of urging Christians to bear witness to the faith. 

He was beatified by Pope Pius XII on  April 2, 1951 and canonised by Pope John Paul II on June 19, 1988. 

PRAYER:

Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that we who know how courageously your holy martyr Dominic confessed the faith, may experience his goodness as he intercedes for us with you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
