25 missionaries this year from India
KOLKATA: 12th May 2005 -- The Provincial of Kolkata Province, Fr John Berger, in his regular newsletter to confreres, indicates that three confreres from that province will join a band of 25 missionaries from all provinces in India this year. The large group was 'promised' to the Rector Major on the occasion of his visit for the centenary celebrations of the Salesian presence in India.
One of the three from Kolkata province, Fr Dominic Kachira, will go to the Solomon Islands in February of 2006 after receiving his missionary cross and attending the missioning ceremony in Rome in September. He will stay on to attend the missionary course at the UPS following that.
The same newsletter reports that 23 novices (10 from Delhi, 13 from Kolkata) will make their profession on 24th May, and that the new group of novices to start soon afterwards will contain 10 from the Kolkata province.
