Our Mission History

Lovers of the Holy Cross were founded by a French missionary, Bishop Lambert de La Motte, in Viet Nam, in 1670.  Our charism is to direct our mind, heart and life toward Jesus Christ Crucified, and our ministries are in the field of social work, education and health care.  Following the footsteps of our Founder, Bishop Lambert de la Motte, we continue to share the love of Christ with all who are suffering through Mission of Love. The Mission of Love started in the summer 2013 for the purpose of serving the poor in the remote areas in North Viet Nam.  This is our ninth year on this mission and we still have a lot of work to do.

A Drop of Water

Every bucket, every pond, every river,

and every ocean started with a drop of water.
A single road will open up many paths.
A single roof will shelter many people.
A single well will feed a village.
A single word (education) will change a life.

(By Dr. Hieu Van Ho, MD)
