Lang Song minor seminary<\/strong> is located in Sanh Phuong village, Phuoc Son Commune, Tuy Phuoc district, about 20km northeast of Quy Nhon. It is told that church was formerly known as Long Song, because it was surrounded by paddle fields and rivers. Over time, as the name sign at the entrance of the church has been faded, the sign has been repainted and corrected to “l\u00e0ng” instead of “l\u00f2ng” in accordance to local pronunciation. The name is kept until nowadays.<\/p>\n
