Trương Bửu Diệp

Francis Xavier Truong Buu Diep (Vietnamese: Cha Phanxicô Trương Bửu Diệp or Cha Diệp, January 1, 1897 - March 12, 1946) was a Vietnamese Catholic priest who served the people of Bạc Liêu Province.[1] Born on January 1, 1897 in An Giang Province, Diep was ordained in 1924 after completing his studies at Phnom Penh Major Seminary in Cambodia.[2] Upon his return to Vietnam, Diep taught at a local seminary and served as a pastor of Tac Say parish for 16 years.[3] He also founded many parishes in Cambodia and Vietnam.[4] He was arrested and killed by the Việt Minh on March 12, 1946 at the age of 49. According to believers, his remains were lost until he appeared in a vision and disclosed the location and at least two posthumous miracles are attributed to him.

In this Vietnamese name, the family name is Trương, but is often simplified to Truong in English-language text. According to Vietnamese custom, this person should properly be referred to by the given name Diệp.
