Welcome, Father Phan by Kathy Reese Christ The King Church, Nashville, Tennessee Volume 20, Issue 2, Summer 2018 Welcome, Father Phan By Kathy Reese ather Anh Tuan Phan has settled in nicely in his new role at CTK. He is eagerly looking forward to be- coming involved in the various ministries here. He F is open to all experiences; however, during his formation in the seminary, he discovered that he is adept at work- ing with people, especially helping them during difficult times of life. He also likes working with children. Father Phan grew up in Central Vietnam and moved to the United States ten years ago when he was 20 years old. His maternal grandparents sponsored his family, and in April of 2008 his parents and three children moved here. His younger sister is an eighth grader at St. Ann’s, and his younger brother will graduate from MTSU in December. He also has a sister who is a Cistercian nun. She is pres- ently at Divine Word College in Dubuque, Iowa training as a missionary. She hopes to return to Vietnam when she completes her studies. Father Phan’s older brother and his family still live in Vietnam, along with his paternal grandparents. As far as when he knew he had a calling to become a priest, Father Phan said it was a gradual realization. While living in Vietnam, he taught CCD classes and would go with his father to work in the church. After high school his paternal grandmother suggested that he apply to the Hospitality ......................................................................... 2 seminary.

His favorite sport is soccer, but he also enjoys play- Columbian Squires ing ping pong, tennis, and volleyball. While in the semi- nary, he was introduced to flag football and became some- what of a celebrity at Notre Dame. He is now known as “The Legend” because he caught a Hail Mary pass from the quarterback to win the game. Father Phan’s food in- terests are varied. His favorite Vietnamese dish is Spicy Noodle Soup from Central Vietnam. Asked if he cooks this soup for himself, he smiled and said that his mother and grandmother make it for him. His favorite American food is steak, which he eats in moderation, and seafood. For the last two weeks in July, Father Phan took a long- awaited trip to Vietnam to visit family. This was his first time to return to Vietnam in seven years. Now that he has returned, everyone will have ample time to enjoy getting to know him.

  • Over the Mountains to Kentucky
    AMERICANS ON MISSION TOGETHER 1806-1865 CHAPTER 4 OVER THE MOUNTAINS TO KENTUCKY In 1788 John Carroll, who would be consecrated Bishop of Baltimore two years later, expressed the earliest known desire that the Dominican friars should form an American foundation of the Order. In response to Philadelphia Catholics who sought the ministry of Francis Antoninus Fleming, O.P., Carroll drafted an affirmative but cautious reply, colored by his experience with vagabond priests. At its close he wrote, "If Mr. Fleming be inclined to attempt an establishment for his order in Philadelphia, or any of the United States, they shall have every encouragement I can give as long as I retain any authority"[1] But Fleming died of yellow fever in 1793, and during his short ministry no Dominican establishment was formed. Bishop Carroll did not give up. In May, 1796, he informed John Troy, Dominican Archbishop of Dublin, his regular correspondent, that the Irish Augustinians were forming a province in Philadelphia.[2] But hearing no more on the subject, he left it in abeyance for more than five years. Then in 1802 a proposal came from a new source: the English province of the Friars Preachers; or more precisely, from a single member of that province. And Bishop Carroll, consistent in his desire for the good of the nascent American Church, turned with interest toward this new possibility. The Fenwick family coat of arms During the summer of 1788 when John Carroll expressed his idea of a Dominican establishment in the United States, an American youth in Belgium was preparing to enter the English Province of the Order of Preachers.

    A Brief History of the Dominican Order in the U.S. by Sister Nona McGreal, O.P. [from open internet source] Members of the Dominican Order (Order of Preachers) have been on mission in the United States for more than two centuries. The mission given them by Dominic de Guzman (1170‐1221) from the founding of the Order is to proclaim the word of God by preaching, teaching and example, while they are sustained by life in common. The single mission of the Order of Preachers embraces many ministries, developed as needed to bring the word of God to persons in varying societies and circumstances. St. Dominic had this in mind when he urged the first members to identify with each culture through the use of the languages. For the same purpose he asked the meet all people as mendicants, ready to exchange gifts and necessities with others in the spirit of Jesus and the apostles. The Order of Preachers is composed of men and women of four branches: friars, who may be priests or brothers; cloistered nuns; sisters; and laity.

  • Founding the Church in Tennessee
    CHAPTER 9 FOUNDING THE CHURCH IN TENNESSEE Richard Pius Miles and Joseph Thomas Jarboe, astride their horses on a bright autumn day in October 1838, rode on, often in silence through the forested areas of Kentucky and Tennessee. They left St. Rose knowing there was no turning back. Both men, usually cheerful, showed uncharacteristic solemnity. The events of the past year weighed heavily upon them. Miles had scarcely been elected head of St. Joseph Province of friars when he was named Bishop of Nashville, Tennessee. Now Father Jarboe was accompanying him to his See almost as with one going to the guillotine. The disturbing news of Miles' episcopal appointment had reached the Dominican friars in October of 1837. It caused ambivalent feelings for all concerned. They were glad that one of their most capable brothers had been named to the bishopric of Tennessee, but sad because they were so desperately in need of every priest, in the Order. Miles himself had no mixed reaction. He was determined to accept the mitre only under formal precept. He believed his loss would be too hard on the province. ". .I think there has been a strange blunder committed in my nomination ... to appoint a poor Religious, who cannot command one cent, in case he accepts, to a See where there is neither a church nor a clergyman nor any means, that I know of, to procure either."[1] Nicholas Young, never one to hide his feelings, told Bishop John Purcell of Cincinnati that he could not agree that Miles should be appointed Bishop of Nashville.

    'FRIARS~+ + j 4 BOOKSHflf The Father of the Church in Tennesaee: The Life, Times and Character of the Right Reverend Richard Pius Miles, 0. P., the First Bishop of Nashville. By the Very Reverend V. F. O'Daniel, 0. P., S. T. M., Litt. D. Washington; Dominicana Press. $4.00. The "Father of the Church in Tennessee" lives again in the latest work of Very Reverend V. F. O.'Daniel, 0. P. Those in­ terested in the history of the Church in the United States will welcome this important contribution. The work, somewhat over six hundred pages, is now ready for the binders and will appear at the end of this month or early in the next. Father O'Daniel has spent much time and energy in un­ earthing the records of the deeds of Tennessee's first mission­ aries. Bishop Miles, with a few scattered priests at his disposal, entered upon a great field of labor, when he was raised to the episcopate. He courageously sustained the spirit of his clergy, oftentimes disheartened by the dire poverty of their station. Few have done more, particularly in the South, to lessen ani­ mosity and bitterness against the Church. His kindliness and forgetfulness of self seldom failed to gain him friends and ad­ mirers. Undaunted and unwearied, Bishop Miles traversed the length and breadth of his diocese, spurring his clergy to re­ newed endeavor, inspiring the faithful to greater devotion t o their faith, and winning supporters and converts among non­ Catholics. Industrial concerns, often wholly Protestant, made contributions of land or money and otherwise cooperated with him in the establishment of new churches or missions for labor­ ing men.

Their efforts positively influenced my life beyond measure.

My mom and wife (Donna Lynn) consistently encouraged my research and writing efforts and helped with editing. Donna Lynn and my children, Rachael, Michael, Gregory, and Paul, cheerfully bore my periods of feverish activity including various side trips on our vacation. My three oldest children provided the perspective of home schooled students ages 13, 11, and 9 in the first edition.
