One of the most colorful and certainly entertaining annual celebrations in the Diocese of Baton Rouge is the Vietnamese New Year. The Vietnamese community, which has played an integral role in the Diocese of Baton Rouge for the past six decades, traditionally gathers at Sts. Anthony of Padua and Le Van Phung Church in Baton Rouge to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year. Bishop Michael G. Duca is shown enjoying the performances of the Vietnamese dancers in January 2020.
