FATUMACA: 18 April 2010 -- On 17 April 2010, in Fatumaca, two
clerics, Andre Belo and Belzito de Jesus, were ordained Deacons. Bishop
Basilio do Nascimento from the Diocese of Baucau was the ordaining
prelate. Fr Andrew Wong, the Regional Superior, who is now in Timor for
the consultation of the new superior of the vice province, was also
present.
It was simple but solemn with a special choir from
Mary Help of Christian’s parish, Comoro, Dili. As well as the parents
and relatives of the newly ordained deacons present were also
representatives of the young people and the Salesian family from all
the communities. The number attending the ceremony was estimated to be
around 1000. Currently we have some 10 deacons preparing
themselves for priesthood, including those
in the Philippines, Rome and Brazil. _________________ AustraLasia is an
