In celebration of Bishop Joseph P. Nguyen’s 10-year anniversary as Bishop of the Diocese of Kamloops, we are building a "spiritual bouquet" to present to him.
What is a spiritual bouquet?
A spiritual bouquet is a collection of prayers, sacrifices, or devotional acts offered by one person or a group of people for a particular intention or as a gift to another person. It is a way to show support, love, and gratitude through spiritual means. Instead of the physical flowers, the “bouquet” consists of spiritual offerings such as:
Prayers: Specific prayers, such as the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, or the Our Father.
Eucharistic Holy Hours: Spending an hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament praying for the person's intentions.
Masses: Having Masses offered for the person’s intentions.
Fasting: Offering a period of fasting or abstinence.
Acts of Charity: Engaging in acts of kindness or service.
These spiritual gifts are then presented to the recipient in a card or letter, sometimes beautifully designed to resemble a bouquet of flowers, indicating the types and numbers of spiritual acts being offered.
On the form linked below, type a number beside the item/items you are going to offer in Thanksgiving for Bishop Joseph P. Nguyen’s 10th anniversary.
On August 25, 2026, we will present Bishop Joseph with the spiritual bouquet, listing the number of each prayer and sacrifice that is being offered in thanksgiving for his years of service to the Diocese of Kamloops.
Please note: This will be a surprise for Bishop Joseph. Please do not mention it to him!
