On behalf of the entire DH-CLC National Community, Ban Phục Vụ Đồng Hành (BPVDH) would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our SEED leaders and their parents, the SEED parent organizing team headed by Chị Loan of the DH-CLC Southwest Region, and many others who have been silently helping out with the planning and organizing of this retreat.
The theme of this retreat will be as follows: "Here I Am" SEED is a ministry of the Dong Hanh community. SEED is an abbreviation for Search, Embark, Experience, and Develop. SEED is a retreat approach to help the minors encounter and experience God through activities appropriate with their ages and stage of their cognitive and spiritual developments.
Please keep them, the parent team, all retreatants and their parents in your prayers throughout this week.
Almighty and loving Father, please look with favor on Your servants who are the above Leaders and the Parent Organizing Team as we, the DH-CLC community send them forth on a mission to help bringing the 58 young retreatants closer to You, Lord. Please guide them at every single step with Your mighty arm. Strengthen them with the power of Your graces, fill their hearts with a deep joy in serving You through these little ones, and keep them united in Your love. Grant our 58 retreatants grace to remain open and embrace fully the gifts You are about to unfold to them in this retreat. Please protect all leaders, parent team, retreatants and their parents from all distresses throughout their journey. We ask for these graces in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Dear BPV Tay Nam and Dong Hanh,
Frank and I are excited to share the news that for the first time in 5 years we are having a new SEED retreat in our region. SEED Norcal I will be taking place July 24-26 at Camp Maymac in Felton California. Chi Loan, whose family has been attending SEED in Southern California for many years, has been our main organizer and we are blessed to have a team of hard working organizers to help her support us. We have a team of 12 leaders who include:
Our leaders come from Southern and Northern California and have been working for the past few months to bring SEED to the families in Northern California. We ask that you join us in prayer to send and support the leaders and organizers as they serve 58 retreatants ages 6-17 this weekend. We will be praying for the graces of courage to face new and unknown challenges, grace to do our best, and humility to put ourselves aside to be God's instruments.
SEED Tay Nam has been discerning and dreaming about having SEED Norcal for about 2 years now and it is a great blessing to see it come to life. Seeing the team work with such passion and joy the past few months makes me excited to be part of God's plan for SEED Ministry throughout Dong Hanh.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayers, we are deeply grateful that you journey with us,
Frank, Thao Vy,
and SEED Norcal Team
