The Thanksgiving Festival coincides with the Feast of the Martyrs of Vietnam on November 24th. This holy day honors the 117 faith leaders and unknown companions killed in Vietnam for their faith and canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1988. These include Saint Andrew Dũng-Lạc, and 21 missionaries from France and Spain, slain in Vietnam. Since the group was canonized, Vietnamese Catholics have held annual ceremonies to commemorate the martyrs.

Holy Martyrs of Vietnam Catholic Church offers Catholic Masses in Vietnamese and Vietnamese/English. The parish was named after the 117 Vietnamese Catholics who were killed for their faith in Vietnam in the 18th and 19th centuries.
