June is 'ordination' month for EAO
MESSINA-ROME-SEOUL-JERUSALEM: 1st June 2005 -- If the month of May was a month for first or final professions, as it was in a number of instances, then June is ordination month! A total of 12 members of EAO region will be ordained deacons this month, a further 2 will be ordained priests. Then later in the year, August mostly, further ordinations to the priesthood will take place for a number of our men from the region.
The studentate in Messina has the largest group: Three Thais - Boonlert Paneetatthayasai, Ekasit Talhakultorn and Paradorn Unchatturaporn; three East Timorese - David Savio, Agapito Alfredo Ximenes and Basilio Ximenes Pereira. These ordinations will take place on 12th June
From the theologate in Rome , and to be ordained at Sacro Cuore by Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga will be one from Vietnam - Barnaba Le An Phong; one form Japan - Pietro Shin Mishima. These ordinations will take place on 18th June
From Ratisbonne, and therefore the first large group of deacons from the new theologate setting (moved from Cremisan), two from Vietnam who are missionaries to PNG: John Anh Phan Nguyen Tuan and Francis Xavier Phan Tram Cong. These two ordinations will take place on 12th June.
It is worth noting that of a substantially large group of a dozen final year Salesian students at Ratisbonne (there are two others from another Congregation), half are from the EAO Region or working there, and will be ordained priests over the next few months: Abundio Bacatan from FIS, Acacio de Castro, Jose Augusto Caetano and Mateus Sudiantoro from ITM, Kriengsak Chaiphornkaew and Albeiro Rodas from THA. The last-named is from Colombia but has been working in Cambodia as a missionary and will return there as a priest in October.
And finally, from the Dae Rim Dong theologate in Seoul, four Koreans, two to be ordained deacons and two to be ordained priests: Na Taek Yoo (Francis de Sales, Na Chong Heom (Moses), Park Hae Song (Bosco), Kim Song Oh (Bonaventure). Bishop Luc Van Looy will be the ordaining prelate for these ordinations on 29th June. This will be something quite special as Bishop Luc was once - while these young men were in nappies - Provincial of Korea!
Members of the Region are asked to pray for all these young men.
VOCABULARY
Nappies - what the Americans term diapers. Need one explain further? OK then, a piece of cotton towelling or other more modern materials fastened around a baby's bottom.....
