TIGARAKSA (ITM-Ind): October 10 2007 -- While the Moslem
neighbors were singing their nightly prayers for the forthcoming
conclusion of Ramadan (month of fasting), the Salesians, along with
friends, benefactors and other religious were welcoming the new rector
(Fr. Chito Padilla) and saying good-bye to the previous one (Fr. Boedi
Soerjonoto). The Tigaraksa formation house has reasons to celebrate.
There is now a full time rector for this Salesian community. For the
past 8 years the rectors of this house also took care of the provincial
economy and was the house bursar too.
Now with Fr. Padilla, this formation house for
aspirants and pre-novices along with the Training Center will have him
as animator, father and guide. At age 55, his many years' experience as
rector and novice master in East Timor will serve to support the young
confreres who care for the aspirants and pre-novices. He will also be
the confessor for the PostNovitiate confreres in Sunter-Jakarta.
In line with the efforts to consolidate the
presences of the Salesians in Indonesia and East Timor, new rectors
have been installed in the past 3 months: Sumba-Novitiate,
Dili-PostNovitiate, Dili-Training Center and Laga-Parish. _________________ AustraLasia is an
