Light of Truth

August 31st, 2021

The Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development announced on 24 August that the pontiff is sending 100,000 euros in emergency aid to the people of Vietnam, which is in a state of dire crisis due to the socio-economic fallout from the pandemic.
In Vietnam, the pope’s act of solidarity joins the Catholic Church’s action in favour of COVID-19 victims, which continues with unreserved dedication.
