ECHOING MINI-TRIP | BÊN HIÊN ĐỀN THÁNH 28.05

ECHOING MINI-TRIP is a shortened walking trip focusing on history-cultural-religious learning, held regularly on Thursday mornings each week. With a shorter route and simplified food activities, while still ensuring all the core content of the Echoing Trip, Echoing Mini-Trip helps reduce costs, making it more suitable for students or participants who cannot arrange time on weekends, or those who are unable to walk long distances.

The history of Catholicism in Saigon began in the 1700s, developing from small parishes into a major ecclesiastical center, officially elevated to the Archdiocese of Saigon in 1960. The diocese has gone through several names: Western Cochinchina (1844-1924), Diocese of Saigon (1924-1960), and Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City from 1976. BÊN HIÊN ĐỀN THÁNH is a walking-trip-3.0 km, lasting 3.5 hours, revisiting the pages of Saigon Catholic history through notable churches, family lineages, and saints in the former areas of Chợ Đũi, Chợ Cầu Ông Lãnh, and Cầu Kho.
