By

Fatumaca Don Bosco, Timore-Leste, 14 December 2021 -- On the day of the first profession of 10 new Salesians of Don Bosco (8 December) the 25 new novice started their formation after being accepted into the novitiate (Novice master Fr Isais Bonifacio). The 3-day entrance retreat is directed by the TLS Vice-province superior, Fr. Apolinario Ornai Neto.

For the sake of your prayers, we also publish their list with place of origin. As you can read, they come from all provinces of their country, including the Oe-Cusee enclave:

We ask your prayers for the Novice master, Fr Isaias Bonifacio, his assistants and the whole group of 25 new novices of Saint Callistus Caravario Vice-province of Timor Leste. May Saint Callistus Caravario accompany them on their vocation journey.

During this year the TLS viceprovince is blessed with 10 newly professed (+1 novice in extension due to his light surgery) and in the Los Palos prenovitiate some 40 young men are being prepared for their novitiate in the near future.
