Catching up on (hopefully) all EAO ordinations and
professions in May-June
EAO: 19th June 2007 -- As promised, here is a list,
hopefully complete (but as always this hope depends on the information
coming through from one or other part of the region) of ordinations and
professions last month and this one. Mention has already been
made (#1872, 1878) of the ordination to diaconate of Falaniko Felise,
Samoa (Australia-Pacific), the episcopal ordination of Tim Costelloe,
Melbourne (cf. www.sdb.org for photos), and the priestly ordination
which will take place this coming 23rd June in Samoa of Taisali
Leuluai. Mention was also made of the final profession of Brother
Baltasar Sali (ITM) in Jakarta (#1875).
May was a busy ordination and profession month in
various parts of the region - or to do with the region. Some would be
aware that there is a missionary from ITM in Argentina (Bahia Blanca),
Brigildo De Deus. Bro. Brigildo made his final profession at
Zapala Nequen on 26th May, close to where Zeferino Namancurá
came from. It was where Bro Brigildo had completed his practical
training. He is now in 1st year theology in Buenos Aires. Another
final profession on 24th May was of a Vietnamese missionary studying in
Manila. Bro. Michael Tran Ba Hiep returned to Xuan Hiep, Ho Chi Minh
City, for the profession ceremony.
Diaconate ordinations include one from ITM,
Juniantoro Bonifacio Onny, ordained at Messina on 9th June along with
Eugene Xalxo originally from India but now a missionary to Cambodia
(THA) and Joseph Noppadol (THA). Bishop Calogero La Piana sdb of
Messina was the ordaining prelate. In Rome, on 16th June Paolo Ho Trong
Phu from Vietnam, but resident in the Gerini community in Rome, was
