Pleiku_Catholic_Church.JPGPleiku series86 viewsAt the time I was surprised to see a Catholic church in Vietnam. I eventually found out that the Catholic religion is the second largest religion after Buddhist. I talked to a person there to find out that it was Catholic.
{Webmaster's Note: Many Vietnamese were settled in Port Arthur, TX and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi after Nam. They started up both Catholic parishes and Buddhist temples.}
