Every summer, tens of thousands of Vietnamese American Catholics gather in Carthage, Missouri, for Marian Days, one of the largest annual Catholic gatherings in the United States. Alan Holdren takes us inside the Marian Days festival and pilgrimage to see how Vietnamese Catholics celebrate their faith, honor the Blessed Mother, and preserve their cultural traditions. The annual pilgrimage is a powerful expression of the vibrant Vietnamese Catholic community in America.
