The church of Tac Say is also known as the church of Father Diep. The tomb of Fr. Francis Xavier Truong Buu Diep, a Roman Catholic priest killed in March 1946, attracts thousands of pilgrims of all denominations and faiths. Many claim that he helps them and cures their illnesses. The church is large, modern, luminous. It is a beautiful landmark in the middle of a very peaceful landscape. Fr. Diep is a candidate for sainthood, because "he gave his life for his flock."
