I spent Christmas time continuing my project on the Hmong porters on Fansipan, Indochina’s highest peak, up in the mountainous area of northern Vietnam. There are three Hmong parishes in Sapa, the tourist town in the foot of Fansipan, which are Sapa, Hau Thao and Lao Chai but there is only one priest takes care them all. Except Sapa church which is built by the French from the early 20th century and located in the heart of Sapa town, Hau Thao and Lao Chai churches are built recently by donation for ethnic people in remote area.
