Vincent Hieu Manh Nguyen (born May 8, 1966) is a Canadian Catholic prelate who serves as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Toronto. On November 6, 2009 Nguyen was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI as one of two new Auxiliary Bishops for the Archdiocese of Toronto along with Bishop William McGrattan.[2]
Nguyễn Mạnh Hiếu was born in South Vietnam and moved to Canada in 1984, just nine years after the Fall of Saigon, which ended the Vietnam War. He holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto and a Master of Divinity from St. Augustine's Seminary in Toronto. He was ordained a priest on 9 May 1998. He then did further studies in Rome, where he received a licentiate in canon law from the Angelicum. From September 2009 to his consecration as bishop, he served as Chancellor and Moderator of the Curia of the Archdiocese of Toronto.[2]
Nguyen is Canada's first Bishop of Asian descent. He is currently the third youngest Bishop in Canada.
