INTERNET SUCCESS WITH VOCATIONS!
by Shane Reade
MELBOURNE: 3rd Feb -- The Australian Province already has one New Zealand confrere, if it counts Fr. Hans Dopheide who migrated there from Holland post-war and finally joined the Salesians in Australia, but now it has a 'true-blue' Kiwi candidate in the person of Philip Hadley who found out about the Salesians from the Salesian presence on The Web and then was given good counsel by his spiritual director. Philip is doing his prenovitiate year in Hobart with the DeSales community - where beautiful Tasmania will remind him of home territory.
The vocations page on Bosconet is well worth a look if you have not yet seen it. Just run a search under 'vocations' on the search engine on Bosconet.
New Zealand does not yet have a Salesian presence, but shortly a Cooperator group will be forming in Auckland, and more involvement with Auckland is expected as part of the developing presence in the Pacific Islands. It may be a question of 'watch this space'.
