The Monks Harvest Festival 2025 was a special community event organized by our community of monks. This festival is held to celebrate the bounty of the harvest and give thanks for the blessings received, bringing together parishioners, neighbors, and visitors in an atmosphere of faith, fellowship, and joy.
A Special Thanks to Our Businesses and Partners The first day of the 2025 Monks Harvest Festival was dedicated to gratitude. We kicked off the festival by recognizing and thanking the local businesses, entrepreneurs, and partners who made this event possible with their support, generosity, and commitment to our community.
Thanks to their participation, the festival was not only a celebration but also an opportunity to strengthen the bonds between faith, work, and community life. Every contribution, large or small, was a concrete expression of solidarity and service. This first day reminded us that the harvest is not only the fruit of the earth but also of shared effort and the generous hearts of those who believe in the common good.
On Saturday, December 6th, we experienced one of the most special moments of the Monks Harvest Festival 2025: the Benefactors' and donors' dinner. This evening was dedicated to expressing our deepest gratitude to those whose constant support makes the monastery's spiritual and communal mission possible. The night unfolded in an atmosphere of fraternity, reflection, and joy, accompanied by the participation of several Vietnamese singers who shared their talent through music and song. Their performances added a special touch to the evening, uplifting our spirits and enriching this gathering of gratitude. To each of you, thank you for walking alongside us and for being a living part of this work of faith and service.
On Sunday the 7th, the festival culminated with one of its most significant and spiritual moments: the procession. It was a time of reflection, prayer, and unity, where the community walked together as a sign of faith, gratitude, and commitment.
During the procession, we offered our prayers for the blessings received, for the abundance shared, and for all who participated in the festival. This act symbolized our journey as a community, guided by faith and hope.With this procession, we concluded the 2025 Monks' Harvest Festival, carrying in our hearts the gratitude experienced during these days and renewing our commitment to service and fellowship.
