The office serves as a welcoming and supportive hub for individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds residing in the region. With a focus on fostering spiritual growth, community engagement, and cultural integration, the office will try to provide significant information to the foreign residents. Through pastoral counseling, cultural orientation, and various religious education, the office strives to create a sense of belonging and connection within the vibrant tapestry of the Archdiocese of Saigon. Whether newcomers seeking guidance or long-term residents in search of fellowship, the office stands as a beacon of compassion and understanding in the journey of faith and cultural adaptation.

이 사무실은 해당 지역에 거주하는 다양한 문화적 배경을 가진 개인을 환영하고 지원하는 허브 역할을 합니다. 영적 성장, 지역 사회 참여 및 문화 통합 육성에 중점을 두고 사무실은 외국인 거주자에게 중요한 정보를 제공하려고 노력할 것입니다. 목회 상담, 문화 오리엔테이션, 다양한 종교 교육을 통해 사무실은 사이공 대교구의 활기 넘치는 태피스트리 내에서 소속감과 유대감을 형성하기 위해 노력하고 있습니다. 지도를 원하는 신규 이민자이든, 교제를 찾는 장기 거주자이든, 사무실은 신앙과 문화적 적응의 여정에서 연민과 이해의 등대 역할을 합니다.

Le bureau sert de centre d'accueil et de soutien pour les personnes issues de divers horizons culturels résidant dans la région. En mettant l'accent sur la promotion de la croissance spirituelle, de l'engagement communautaire et de l'intégration culturelle, le bureau tentera de fournir des informations importantes aux résidents étrangers. Grâce au conseil pastoral, à l'orientation culturelle et à diverses formations religieuses, le bureau s'efforce de créer un sentiment d'appartenance et de connexion au sein de la tapisserie dynamique de l'archidiocèse de Saigon. Qu'il s'agisse de nouveaux arrivants en quête de conseils ou de résidents de longue date à la recherche de camaraderie, le bureau constitue un phare de compassion et de compréhension dans le cheminement de la foi et de l'adaptation culturelle.
