austraLasia #2637 Tribal presence rewarded with first profession - THA
SAMPRAN: 5 May 2010 -- 1 May saw the first profession of two
young Thai Salesians at the Don Bosco Novitiate in Sampran at a
ceremony at which the Provincial, Fr Depharat, presided. The two are
Bros Thomas Nattawut Kitsawad and Matthew Rachapong Wanpadet. Thomas
comes from Sampran itself; he frequented the oratory run by the
prenovices, novices and postnovices. In his speech, he cited the
names of the confreres who had attracted him to the Salesian life; some
of them were present at the concelebration.
Matthew came from a tribal group from the North of
Thailand. His parents and relatives came in their traditional
garb. The aspirants from Chiang Mai came; they are all from the
tribal groups and are certainly encouraged by the profession of one of
them.
It was a very impressive celebration with the lively
and active participation of a good number of confreres, members of the
Salesian Family, benefactors and friends. A familiar lunch together was
prepared by the community. _________________ AustraLasia is an
