Vietnam.... Mission Days
with Fr Klement
by Bro. Ephrem Santos (ITM)
HCM City: 24 November 2010 -- Fr Klement passed through Vietnam for a
missionary animation visit (November 14-19) and spent wonderful days
witnessing the missionary zeal of this province which has offered more
than 60 Salesians for the missions in recent times, including the 11
missionaries who received the missionary crucifix last October in Turin.
By coincidence, Bro. Ephrem Santos sdb from ITM who
was on a technical visit to Saigon and Dalat, was also invited by the
Provincial of Vietnam, (Fr Hoa Hung Tran) to join Fr Klement for the
Mission Days with the aspirants and postnovitiate confreres in Dalat
and another day with the novices and theologians in Ho Chi Minh City.
The Mission Days were held in Dalat and in Saigon to
make it easier for the Salesians to come together. The event was led by
Fr. Provincial and assisted by the Viet Mission Commission with a
variety of activities to meet each other and offer information about
the confreres in the missions, praying for the missions, meeting with
the parents of the missionaries, talking about the early missionaries
and holy pioneers of Vietnam, and keeping the "fire" alive in the
young confreres and even among the numerous aspirants of the different
Salesian centres. It is amazing how all these activities were packed
into a whole day activity... As is usual in Salesian settings, a Brass
Band, songs, plays, picture-taking and a hearty lunch were familiar
ways to complement the Holy Mass, prayers and reflections on the
Missions. _________________ AustraLasia is an
