austraLasia #2581 Cagliero missionaries receive their mandate on 24th January
MELBOURNE: 24 January 2010 -- Sunday, 24 January was a special
day for the Australia-Pacific Province. After a year of
preparation: applications, interviews, and a final full week of
intensive formation – Salesian, cultural, spiritual and psychological –
seven Cagliero missionaries were commissioned by the Provincial, Fr
Frank Moloney, for their missionary appointments for 2010. This
is the third Cagliero missionary group to be sent into the EAO Region
from the Australia-Pacific Province. All young missionaries are
either recent University graduates, or have been in the work force form
some time. Jessica, Paul and Michael will be heading to
Samoa. Jessica to the FMA community at Leauva’a, Michael and Paul
to Don Bosco Tech at Alafua. Michael, Hanna and Simon will be
with two Salesian communities in Cambodia and Matthew in Chiang
Mai, Thailand. The team for Thailand-Cambodia will depart on
Thursdasy, 28 Jaunary, while the Samoan contingent will head off on the
feast of Don Bosco, 31 January.
As the numbers of consecrated Salesians in Australia decrease (while
those in the Pacific increase) a young apostolic presence of young
Australian “Salesians” are reaching out to continue and strengthen Don
Bosco’s presence in this part of the world. _________________ AustraLasia is an
