Father François Xavier Truong Buu Diep (Vietnamese: Cha Phanxicô Trương Bửu Diệp or Cha Diệp, January 1,1897 - March 12,1946) was a Vietnamese Catholic priest who served the people of Bạc Liêu Province.[1] Born in January 1, 1897 in An Giang Province, Father Diep was ordained in 1924 after completing his studies at Phnom Penh Major Seminary in Cambodia.[2] Upon his return to Vietnam, Father Diep taught at a local seminary and served as a pastor of Tac Say parish for 16 years. [3] He also founded many parishes in Cambodia and Vietnam.[4] According to believers, his remains were lost until he appeared in a vision and disclosed the location and at least two posthumous miracles are attributed to him. A number of devotees venerate Father Diep, and report that they were healed after praying for his intercession and visiting his shrine.
