First Provincial for Myanmar: Fr. Joachim Ye
Maung
KOLKATA: 19th June '04 -- Following the decision of
the Rector Major and his Council some months ago to change the status of
Salesian Myanmar from that of a Delegation dependent on Kolkata Province to
that of a Vice Province, Fr. John Berger, Provincial of Kolkata Province, has
announced to confreres there the appointment of Fr. Joachim Ye Maung as the
first provincial of the vice province of Myanmar.
Fr. Ye Maung has already twice been the delegate of the Provincial for
Myanmar, a novice-master, and also a pioneering Salesian missionary in the Wa
tribe region of Northeast Myanmar. He comes to his new responsibilities
well-prepared by this background.
The new vice province will be officially founded on 6th August.
