Đền Mẫu Vân Hương Vọng Từ

Satellite Temple Dedicated to the Mother Spirit

The temple was first formed in Vietnam in 1965 by Phan Thị Gái and Lương Nghĩa. Their descendants have continued the stewardship of the temple to its present state in Tigard, Oregon. The temple is dedicated to Đạo Mẫu or Mother Spirit practice, and is designated an intangible cultural heritage practice of Vietnam by UNESCO. 

Temple ceremonies are typically held in private by the family, with exceptions throughout the year.
