Raymond Callo (FIN - EAO formation coordinator) and the Indonesia Delegate Fr. Lino Belo. All three days were animated by our Capuchin Father with the main theme: 'Self-Processing Emotionally and Spirituality." All 20 present priests were very much enriched and satisfied with this occasion of personal self-formation input very helpful in our daily life.
