The Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement in Canada

Giới thiệu TNTT

Phong trào Thiếu Nhi Thánh Thể bắt nguồn từ hội Cầu nguyện bên Pháp do các linh mục Léonard Cros và Ramadière khởi xướng giũa thế kỷ XIX với tinh thần Đạo Binh Thánh Giá theo 4 khẩu hiệu truyền thống: cầu nguyện, rước lễ, hy sinh và làm việc tông đồ.

Phong trào được thành lập đầu tiên ở Hà Nội vào năm 1929 do hai linh mục Léon Paliard và Paul Uzureau (thuộc Tu hội Xuân Bích), mang tên Nghĩa Binh Thánh Thể.

Tuỳ theo lứa tuổi từ nhỏ đến lớn, Nghĩa Binh được chia ra làm Tiền Binh, Trung Binh, Hậu Binh. Năm 1957, Hội Đồng Giám Mục Việt Nam bổ nhiệm linh mục Nguyễn Khắc Ngự lên tổng Tuyên uý đầu tiên.

Năm 1971, Hội Đồng Giám Mục phê chuẩn bản “Nội Quy Mới”. Năm 1972, Đại hội toàn quốc Về Đất Hứa I tổ chức tại Bình Triệu quy tụ khoảng 2.000 huynh trưởng.

Sau năm 1975, phong trào lan rộng và phát triển mạnh nơi cộng đồng Công giáo Việt Nam tại nhiều nước trên thế giới: Pháp, Đức, Úc, Hoa Kỳ, Canada...

History of VEYM

The Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement shares its origin with the international Eucharistic Youth Movement (EYM). Specifically in Việt Nam, the Eucharistic Crusade was established by the St. Sulpice priests in 1929 at a school with traditional religious purposes facilitated by the “École Puginier” brothers in Hà Nội.

Over a period of active development throughout the dioceses, the Eucharistic Crusade released its first Bylaws in 1964 to unify all activities. In 1965, the name was changed to the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement, with emphasis on the mission of educating the youth.

With the continuous momentum of the Movement and to meet the educational needs of young people more effectively, a new Bylaws for the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement was published with the approval of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Vietnam in January of 1971.

After the fall of Sài Gòn in 1975, waves of Vietnamese spanned across the globe seeking refuge. Subsequently, the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement flourished and developed spectacularly within Vietnamese Catholic communities throughout the world, such as France, Germany, the United States, Canada, Australia...

A Brief History

Since 2013, TNTT chapters in Ontario have been working together to organize events and programs that helps bringing members of VEYM who wish to live like Jesus, to encounter Jesus, love Him and have a ‘heart to heart’ relationship with him. We aim “to offer members different ways of succeeding in this ideal – living in a team, meetings, songs, liturgies, retreats, camps, etc. These are opportunities to relax, talk about experiences, meditate and serve; always with the aim of helping members to grow, and of guiding them in their Christian vocational choices.”

Starting with the first Nghĩa sĩ Retreat in 2013 at the Martyrs’ Shrine in Midland, we began to have the annual retreat/formation Bethsaida for Hiệp Sĩ in Ontario and Québec, annual retreat for Huynh trưởng and Hiệp sĩ Trưởng Thành Tabor and two summer camps gathering Đoàn sinh all across Ontario. These events and programs were organized by the local Chapter Executive Committees (Ban Chấp hành Đoàn) with a group of Huynh trưởng who took on this extra coordination and planning responsibilities.

After five years observing the chapters in Ontario and Quebec working under a structure similar to Hội đồng Liên đoàn (League of Chapters Council) and Ban Chấp hành Liên đoàn (League of Chapters Executive Committee), the National Executive Committee had proposed the amendment to the Charter (Bản Nội quy) defining the ‘League of Chapters’ organizing structure and boundaries of four League of Chapters in TNTT Canada.

The amendment had been passed in 2019 and Liên đoàn Kateri Tekakwitha was officially established on July 14, 2019 at the Nghĩa-Hiệp Conference at Mount Mary Retreat Centre in Hamilton. An Interim Executive Committee was appointed to prepare for the first two resolutions to select the Patron Saint and to set the date for the election of the 2020-2023 League of Chapters Executive Committee on June 20, 2020.

As of 2022, Liên đoàn Kateri is consisted of six đoàn, located in three dioceses in Ontario:
