ITM: BROTHERS MEET IN SDB COMMUNITY OF TIGARAKSA

JAKARTA: March 20-23 2003. After the feast of St Joseph, eleven brothers from the vice-province of Indonesia-Timor (ITM) gathered together for a three day encounter to recall the life of Blessed Zatti and reflect upon the first letter of the Rector Major regarding the call to Salesian holiness. Other sources, like the talk of Sig. Claudio Marangio, SDB (Turin), were included to make the inputs more comprehensive. Since seven of the brothers were involved in Technical Education, an afternoon was spent to visit a nearby Technician Center which is managed by the Indonesian and Austrian governments. Fr. Provincial was present at the last day, when topics on formation and vocation promotion were discussed. Some suggestions were chosen to be forwarded to the provincial commision on formation.

This group of brothers consisting of 5 perpetually professed and 6 with temporary vows had come up with a series of slide presentations (Powerpoint) in English which is being put into CD format to be distributed as vocation source materials for the other communities of the vice-province . Another output will be the revised brochure for vocation promotion in the Indonesian language. As a conclusion to the three-day Brothers’ Encounter, the whole group with Fr. Provincial went to the Salesian post-novitiate house in Jakarta and presented a multi-media presentation of the group’s reflections.The question-and-answer session was followed by Sunday vespers and a hearty supper.
