Chiangmai,Thailand, 1 May 2018 -- At Salesianum Sampran, Fr Aaron Alcoseba the vice Provincial with the councils received the renewal of temporary vows of three young Salesians and accepted two new novices into their Novitiate. The two new Novices enrtusted to Fr. Anthony Boonlert (Novice Director) are Francis Assisi Assawin Arunrai and Paul Pham Duc Thuan.

At 10 Am there was Eucharistic celebration with the first profession of two Salesians - Cl. John Boonmee Jarunsakhon and Cl. Luke Suchao Sukdamrongwana. Both of them are from Chiang Mai Diocese. The Eucharist was presided by Fr John Bosco Dhepharat Pitisant, Provincial of Thailand-Laos-Cambodia, together with Salesians and the member of the Salesians family in Thialand.

In his homily Fr Dhepharat mentioned that to be happy in religious life one has to keep smiling and do not complain. In religous life there is happiness and sadness but if we are happy in our consecrated apostolic life we can help other more. After the Mass Br Boonmee addressed the congregation with a short thanksgiving followed by lunch in fraternal atmosphere.
