New academic year in Vietnam's Salesian Study Centres

HO CHI MINH CITY: 8th September 2009 -- The Salesians in Vietnam have just started their academic year in two important centers of formation: the Postnovitiate and the Theologate.
    Encouraged by the guidelines of the GC 26, the leadership of Vietnam Province makes its greatest commitment to offer the best for the young confreres in initial formation. Their formation communities are also the centres of studies. In such a way, the formators, professors and students interact with one another to deepen the Salesian charism and apostolate in one distinctive field: intellectual formation.
    This year, 2009-10, the Post-novitiate community  hosts 67 Salesians in formation together with 8 confreres on the staff. It also welcomes 52 non-SDB seminarians from 8 Congregations who frequent the three-year program of philosophical and educational studies.
    The Theologate community is witnessing an increase in the number of theology students: 36 Salesians and a number of non-Salesian seminarians. The curriculum is being re-structured in view of its prospective  affiliation with UPS.
