August 4 to 7, 2022, thousands of Vietnamese Catholics gathered in Carthage, MO, for the annual Marian Days Festival. The festival and pilgrimage have been celebrated since 1978.
Marian Days offers opportunities for individuals, families, and friends to enhance their relationships with God through reconciliation and prayers.
Featured speakers this year included Redemptorist Fr. Peter Linh Nguyen, C.Ss.R., a member of the Baltimore Province.
As of 2018, more than 80,000 Vietnamese Americans have made the journey from various parts of the United States.
Although Marian Days is organized by Vietnamese Americans with a Vietnamese theme in mind, the event is open to everyone who wishes to attend.
