The Catholic Church in Vietnam continues to flourish in priestly vocations. In June 2025, the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and traditionally reserved for priestly ordinations, forty new priests were ordained, a precious gift for the Vietnamese Church: six in the Diocese of Da Nang, thirteen in the Diocese of Can Tho, in the Mekong Delta, and twenty-one in the Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City.

The Diocese of Da Nang joyfully welcomed six new priests, "consecrated to be each an Alter Christus, to become pastors of the People of God, not to live for themselves, but to be all things to all people," said Monsignor Joseph Dang Duc Ngan.

 Archbishop of Hue and Apostolic Administrator of Da Nang, during the solemn ordination of six priests, celebrated on June 24 in Da Nang Cathedral, attended by numerous faithful. Referring to the life of Saint John the Baptist, the Prelate recalled: "A priest does not become perfect from the day of his ordination. The priesthood is a journey of daily growth in Christ and constant strengthening in the Holy Spirit to fulfill the mission of God and the Church with joy and true love." The following day, June 25, in Soc Trang Cathedral, Diocese of Can Tho, Bishop Peter Le Tan Loi presided over the ordination of thirteen new priests. During the celebration, the bishop invited the community "to unite in prayer and accompany the new priests, so that they may always lead a life faithful to their pastoral identity: humble, holy, and dedicated to the flock."

On June 27, 2025, the Day of the Sanctification of the Priesthood, the diocese of Ho Chi Minh City celebrated the ordination of twenty-one new priests. In his homily, Archbishop Joseph Nguyen Nang, Archbishop of the archdiocese, emphasized: "The priest is not like a robot of the modern age. The priest, in his ministry, takes God's will seriously so that, in every action - liturgical, pastoral, and charitable - he may transmit the Good News."

At the Shrine of Our Lady of Bai Dau, in the Diocese of Ba Ria, Bishop Emmanuel Nguyen Hong Son presented six seminarians who received diaconal ordination during the Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
