Sumba, Indonesia, 24 July 2016 -- The Delegation of Indonesia (ITM) celebrated with gratitude and joy the first profession of three young Salesians in the Novitiate chapel in Don Bosco Sumba, Indonesia.

  • Cl. Richardus Florianus LOBO
  • Cl. Alfonsus DE NAVARETE
  • Br. Jefrianus UMBU

We are happy about the 'Don Bosco standard' of our newly professed confreres. Like in Valdocco when Don Bosco went to heaven, among 100 SDB there were 33% of Salesian Brothers!

All three young Salesian made their first religious profession in the presence of the Indonesia Delegate-Superior Fr. Lino Belo and numerous other Salesians and young people of Sumba community.

We recognize that "every call is an indication that the Lord loves the Congregation, wants to see it vibrant for the good of the Church and never cease to enrich with new apostolic energy!" (SDB Constitutions art. 22)

Our Delegation ask you to pray for new Salesian consecrated vocations in Indonesia, since this school year 2016-2017 we don't have any novices!
