April 15, 2025, the day of the consecration of oil and the renewal of the priestly vows held at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, Chiang Mai; the diocese was honored of having Archbishop Francis Xavier Vira Arporndratana as the presider of the ceremony. On this occasion, after the mass, a thanksgiving ceremony for H. E. Vira Arporndratana followed. It was an expression of respect, love and gratitude for his excellency being the shepherd of the Diocese of Chiang Mai for 16 years. In the homily, his excellency encouraged the 11 Religious congregations, diocesan priests and 16 congregations of sisters of 130 sisters working in the diocese. H.E. among other things said\u2026\u201d may the renewal of our commitment today as priests, renew our enthusiasm to proclaim the Good News as Jesus instructed us once again.\u201d Father Boonlert Sangkusolnaiphasuta, who is the Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Chiang Mai, thanked his excellency Archbishop Vira A. saying: \u201cWe would like to thank Archbishop Vira for the 16 years of dedication and sacrifice, following his excellency\u2019s motto: \u2018I do everything for the sake of the Good News\u2019 (1 Cor. 9:23).<\/p><p>His excellency\u2019s final heartfelt words were: \u201cDuring the 16 years that I have served as the Bishop of Chiang Mai Diocese, I have believed and trusted in God\u2019s loving-kindness. Everything was possible and successful, and I believed the Holy Spirit inspired me to divide the Chiang Rai Mission to proclaim widely the Good News. When looking at the statistics, we could see that at that time there were more than 60,000 Catholics and many more people were interested in learning the teachings of the Catholic church. Therefore, it was proposed to separate Chiang Rai Diocese from Chiang Mai.\u201d <br \/>On this occasion, his excellency thanked everyone, saying how happy his excellency was staying in Chiang Mai, and felt the warmth of the people. His excellency thanked all the priests, religious men and women, and brothers and sisters who have cooperated, gave love, and warmth. His excellency in return wished that \u201cMay everyone be happy as well.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e6da6e

(Hmong Catholic Center) held the annual Father\u2019s Seminar at Baan Laudato Si, Chae Hom, Lampang on April 24-26, 2025. The theme was &#8220;Hmong Fathers Move Forward with Hope&#8221;. The seminar was opened with a holy mass by Rev. Fr. Narongchai Mansueksa and followed by the topic of &#8220;The Role of Fathers in the Modern Church&#8221; by the catechist Mr. Metha Saengsrichaophan. Other interesting topics shared were: The Holy Year and the Participation of Husbands in the Evangelization by Rev. Fr. Durongrit Krabuansiri. At the conclusion, it was agreed to implement the following: To encourage the husbands to attend the mass in the Church more frequently; To provide catechism training to children in each village, To be ready to work together in proclaiming the Good News; News that are not good, do not need to be proclaimed; Good news must be proclaimed; proclaim the Christian teachings together; visit Christians in the villages, pray and help sing, read the scriptures; join in the prayers for the deceased and encourage each other.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f4ba77f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f4ba77f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;97fe683&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b242515\" data-id=\"b242515\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7d6dd0 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c7d6dd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-199528d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"199528d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"830\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmdiocese.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-1-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-50377\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmdiocese.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-1-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cmdiocese.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-1-1-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cmdiocese.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-1-1-1024x415.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cmdiocese.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-1-1-768x311.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cmdiocese.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/a-1-1-1536x623.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2dec61 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d2dec61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Summer Catechism 2025<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40c6051 elementor-drop-cap-yes elementor-drop-cap-view-framed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40c6051\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;drop_cap&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After an intensive class to prepare youth and children, 32 of them received the Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation on 27th April, 2025 at the Sacred Heart Cathedral presided by Rev.
