Since 2014, Abbot Marion has been a doctoral student in the Monastic Institute of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anselmianum.com\/en\/\">Pontifical University of Sant\u2019Anselmo<\/a> and a resident of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anselmianum.com\/en\/college\/\">Collegio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Abbot Marion was born in Can Tho, South Vietnam, in 1976. He is the second of four children of Thien Nguyen and Thu-Trinh Pham of Everett, Washington. When he was four, his family escaped South Vietnam by boat, was raided by sea pirates and eventually arrived in Thailand, where they lived in a refugee camp for three years. In the mid-1980s, the family began a new life in Washington, where Abbot Marion attended Immaculate Conception Grade School in Everett and Bishop O\u2019Dea High School in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>He did his studies in philosophy at Saint John Vianney Seminary and the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota (1995-1999) and theology at the Gregorian University (1999-2002) and the Angelicum (2003-2004) while residing at the North American College. He was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Seattle on 12 June 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Since priestly ordination he has held the following offices: parish vicar of Saint Joseph parish in Vancouver (2004-2005), and the cluster of Saint Edward parish, Saint Paul parish, and Saint George in Seattle (2005-2006), and Sacred Heart parish and Assumption parish in Bellingham (2006-2007); priest administrator of Sacred Heart parish in Bellingham (2007-2009); pastor of Sacred Heart parish (2009-2012); chaplain of the Newman Catholic Campus Ministry at Western Washington University (2007-2012).<\/p>\n<p>After receiving permission from Archbishop J. Peter Sartain in 2012, he entered as a postulant of Saint Martin\u2019s Abbey in Lacey and gave his first vows on 15 August 2013 and received the name Marion. He made final profession on 11 July 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Abbot Marion reads and speaks Vietnamese, French, English, Spanish and Italian; his hobby is digital photography.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directly before his election, Abbot Marion Qui-Thac Nguyen was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anselmianum.com\/en\/college\/\">resident of Collegio Sant&#8217;Anselmo<\/a> as he pursued a doctorate in Monastic Theology at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anselmianum.com\/en\/\">Pontifical University<\/a>.
