Tuyên Hứa 10/18/14
A few weeks ago, 23 of our members were presented during mass in our Tuyên Hứa ceremony to officially welcome them as new members of our organization. These young Catholics stood in front of the altar along with Father Long as he read the vows that we take when we enter TNF. Each of the new members received a khăn quàng and Áo Đức Bà blessed with Holy water. Now that they are officially a part of TNF, we hope that they strengthen their faith in Mary and Our Father, and gain many new friendships along the way.
Halloween Carnival 10/25/14
This past weekend was our first ever Halloween Carnival. Many of our members showed off their fun costumes such as an adorable group of fairies, various superheroes, and even a hilarious dolphin suit! It was very exciting to see how so many of the kids were very creative with their homemade costume (Super Buzz Lightyear!). We began with parading in a circle so that everyone got the chance to show off their costumes while playing Gió Thổi together.
The main attraction of the day was the Halloween themed carnival games! Each booth was hosted by ngành Nghĩa and Huynh Trưởng. There were some cleverly named games out there like Eyeball Toss, Dunkin' on Pumpkins, and Ghost Buster. The kids each had tickets and paid one ticket to play a game at each booth. Many of the kids enjoyed the booths, such as fishing for eyeballs, shooting at zombies, tossing ping pong balls in hopes of making it one into any of the fishbowls, and trying their best to hit a balloon as they aim with a dart. For a win, you could receive up to a handful of candy!
Then, we had a Halloween costume contest. The categories were: Crowd Favorite, Scariest, Cutest, Best Group. Winners were decided by by the crowd and the volume of cheering each costume received. Congratulations to all the winners of the contest! Hope you enjoyed your handful of treats and prizes.
It was really heartwarming to see how everyone got to enjoy themselves at TNF this past Saturday in celebrations of Halloween!
We hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween this weekend!!
