CARTHAGE, Mo. (AP) – A gathering that traditionally has drawn tens of thousands of Vietnamese Catholics from across the U.S. to southwest Missouri has been canceled for a second straight year because of the pandemic.

Before 2020, the event had taken place in the city every year since 1978, reuniting families and friends separated after the fall of Saigon.
The Rev. John Paul Tai Tran, provincial minister of the congregation, said the decision not to hold the celebration during the first week of August was again difficult.
