The process of formation and developmentnnIn 1979, about 300 parishioners from all over the world, mostly from the Central region (Hue, Quang Tri), came to work in the Second Division of Ong Que rubber farm. In 1981, the community built a temporary chapel on the land offered by parishioners as a place to pray and pray. During this time, parishioners must go to Cam Tan Parish to attend mass and receive the sacraments.nnIn 1983, the community was raised to the Mong Trieu Diocese. In 1987, after returning the premises to the ranch, the Mong Trieu Diocese community set up a temporary chapel in the new land.nnThree years later, Father Paul Nguyen Van Dong was in charge of Xuan Que Parish and administered the Mong Trieu parish. In 1994, Father Paul and the Mong Trieu community built a new chapel and came to celebrate Mass on Sundays.nnIn 1998, Father Thomas Thomas Minh presided over the Assumption Church. Father Thomas and the community of Trieu Trieu built a rectory, a fence around the chapel.nnIn 2003, Pope Paul Nguyen Minh Nhat changed the name of Mong Trieu surname to Xuan Trieu. In December 2005, Father Joseph Do Minh Duc was sent to serve the Xuan Trieu Church and from there the Church has a daily Mass.
