Died: 1838

Father James Nam served in his native Vietnam as an affiliate of the Paris-based Society for Foreign Missions. During the ongoing persecution of Catholics under the emperor Minh Mang, Father Nam was sheltered in the home of a Vietnamese Catholic farmer, Anthony Dich Nguyen. Pagan officials arrested Father Nam and Anthony, together with the Catholic village chief, Michael My Huy Nguyen, identified as Anthony�s son-in-law (according to one source�other sources differ). To an official who urged him to deny his faith, Father Nam replied, �I have advised the faithful to stay firm with their belief. How can I reject it now?� The judges urged the village chief Michael to renounce his faith out of consideration for the welfare of his young family. Michael answered: �I love my family, of course, but I believe that if I die now, I will be able to meet them again in heaven.� Afterwards, Michael�s wife and daughter visited him in prison to encourage him in his profession of faith. Father Nam, Anthony, and Michael were executed by beheading.

I am happy to find a saint that is Vietnamese and am glad that my nationality is important to the Catholic church.
