Myanmar:
Ordination is a family affair from A-Z
ANISAKAN (Myanmar): 5 January 2008
-- Deacon Bosco Aung Zaw Win (Bosco A.Z), ordained priest on 29
December at
Anisakan, Pyin Oo Lwin, Myanmar by Salesian Archbishop Charles Bo of
Yangon replaced his father in the Salesian Congregation. "Although Leo
left the Congregation due to the complicated political
situation of Burma in 1960s, today his son, Bosco, has replaced him in
the congregation", said Leo's younger brother, the Salesian provincial
of Myanmar Fr. Joaquim Ye Maung, after the ordination.
Bosco was born at Mohla village situated in Sagain
division of central
Burma . The Mohla village has contributed not only many priests and
religious to the church but also the Archbishop, Charles Bo, and the
current
Provincial, Joaquim Ye Maung, who hail from that village. Bosco is
related to both Archbishop Bo and the Provincial. His father, Leo U San
Aung, a former Salesian Brother, is the elder brother of Fr. Joaquim Ye
Maung.
Bosco A.Z. joined the Salesians of Don Bosco in 1997
and made his first
profession at Anisakan, Pyin Oo Lwin. In 2000, he went to India for his
philosophical studies at Divyadaan Nasik. After gaining a Master`s
degree in Philosophy he returned to Myanmar where he did his practical
training. In 2004, he went to Salesian University Rome for his
theological studies making his final profession on 23 May 2006 at the
Sacred Heart Basilica, Rome.
Parents, family members, relatives, well-wishers
joyfully received the new priest and sought his blessing at the end of
the Eucharist. Fr Bosco Aung has returned briefly to the village to
stay with his parents and relatives, and to celebrate Mass in the
various villages in the vicinity of Mohla. He will join the staff of
St. Joseph's Studentate of Philosophy Ansika, Pyin Oo Lwin as Prefect
of Studies in February 2008.
