Due to personal differences between the Pastor of St. Joachim (Costa Mesa) and his associate priest, Parochial Vicar, Rev. Nguyen was banned from celebrating mass by the Pastor, Rev. Enrique Sera on the eve of Palm Sunday due to personal differences. Without due process, Bishop Tod Brown again automatically sided with the Pastors.
On Good Shepherd Sunday at St. Joachim Parish in Costa Mesa at the end of the 10 O’Clock Mass, Fr. Michael Nguyen courageously went up the sanctuary area to ask permission from the celebrating Pastor Rev. Enrique Sera for permission to talk to the people to clarify rumors of his termination and to bid farewell to the parishioners. Rev. Sera quickly avoided and passed Fr. Nguyen to process and exit the church.
Monday at around 3PM, how will Bishop Brown crucify Fr. Michael Nguyen?
Concerned Catholic.
