Vietnamese Social Ministry
Vietnamese Ministry of Catholic Charities was established in 1996 to meet the social service needs of the Vietnamese refugees and immigrants in Oklahoma City and the metropolitan areas, to strengthen the existing outreach programs in the community and to fill in the gap in services. The Vietnamese Ministry goals are to assist the parishes that have significant number of Vietnamese refugees and immigrants in providing social services and to empower the volunteers at those parishes with skills and knowledge necessary to assist the Vietnamese people.
