New LA priests 2025: Quoc Vo
When Quoc Vo was a kid, his mother would take him to daily Mass.
At 4 a.m. Every day.
He began noticing the priest, and his mother asked if he’d like to be one someday.
“I said, ‘No, no. I don’t want to wake up every day at 4 a.m.,’ ” Vo said.
A few years later, his mother got sick, but no one could figure out what was causing it. They went on a pilgrimage to Our Lady of La Vang shrine in Vietnam, and shortly after, they discovered the source of her sickness: a tumor.
