Over the past five years, Vinh Thanh district in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho has seen a significant decline in the number of reported crimes among the Catholic community.
Local police have coordinated closely with Catholic followers to successfully implement the model of “Three-no: no crime, no drug and no prostitution” in the district’s parishes, a meeting heard in Vinh Thanh on July 4.
Following a maxim of leading a good life, respecting God and loving the country, 98 percent of Catholic households in the district have been officially recognised as model families by local authorities.
