Naeri, Korea, 7 January 2017 -- 'Every call is an indication that the Lord love the Congregation, wants to see it vibrant for the good of the Church and never ceases to enrich it with new apostolic energy'. (SDB Constitutions art. 22)

In the Korean province the Salesian month of January is also a special month characterized by vocation journey of young Salesians. As every year, at the end of the first annual spiritual retreat (2nd of January) four practical trainees renewed their religious vows of obedience, poverty and chastity for another 3 years. On the following day, 3rd of January, Provincial Fr Stefano Yang accepted three new novices and entrusted them to their Directors, Fr Timothy Choi.

And finally next January 24th in the morning is scheduled the first profession of two present novices John Choi and Stefano Yang and in the afternoon of the same day the perpetual profession of Cl. John Baptist Yu.

The whole provincial community shows concern for these new confreres and does care for the vocation growth of every young member.
