A Deacon in Argentina and Two Priests of East Timor

DILI (TIMOR LESTE) August 7, 2013- The month of August is special for the Timorese and the Vice Province of ITM. Aside from the Marian Feasts and Don Bosco's birthday, there will be two special days for its confreres who will be ordained.

A missionary, Cleric Natalino Venancio Freitas de Jesus, along with two other companions in Argentina, will be ordained deacon this coming Saturday, August 10, 2013. He takes as his motto: I am among you as one who serves (Lk. 22:27). After participating in the World Youth Day in Brazil, he again enriches himself with a few days of spiritual retreat. The ordination will take place in the evening, at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in San Justo, near Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Then on the 24th of August 2013 will be the sacerdotal ordination of Rev. Amarianto Adirson A. Adorado and Rev. Joao Pereira Gaspar. It will be held in the morning at the Shrine of Mary Help of Christians in Fatumaca, East Timor. The ordaining prelate is Bishop Basilio do Nascimento, the ordinary of the place.

Rev. Amarianto studied theology in Messina, Italy and Rev. Joao had his theological studies in Paranaque, Philippines. Both of them have chosen: Remain in My love (Jn. 15:9) as the theme of their ordination.
