My place to worship in my native tongue. =)
Many who aren't familiar with Vietnam's architect will say "that looks like a temple!" until you see the cross. Most of the Church in Vietnam are built using French architect so people are not familiar to seeing the arch roof and dragons and phoenix. However, if you ever have a chance to go to Central VN and see Hue, you will see all the historic buildings featuring similar designs. That's why it's important that my church has this design because it helps preserve our culture and in a way allowing others to see our church as not just a Catholic church but a Vietnamese Catholic church. =)
