ITM clerics' unexpected gift for profession
ROME: 12 September 2005 -- The four clerical students from ITM who made their perpetual profession on Saturday 10th September in Rome, received an unexpected gift - the presence of Fr Manuel Fraile from ITM who was in Rome to attend the Salesian Bulletin Editors' Conference being held in that city.
Brothers Domingos C. dos S. Gonzaga, Gui do Carmo da Silva, Silvano de Oliveira and Tarsisius Trianto professed their vow to follow Jesus forever on the way traced out by Don Bosco in the Don Rua chapel at the Salesian University in Rome (UPS). Their profession was received by Fr Francis Alencherry, General Councillor for the Missions.
The four clerics, all from East Timor, are actually studying theology at Messina in Italy. ITM province has most of the stages of initial formation available within the Vice province but regularly sends its students to one of the international theologates either in Italy, the Philippines or Israel (Jerusalem).
As well as the presence of Fr Fraile, there were a number of Salesian Sisters from ITM and the ceremony was given a distinct Timorese flavour through a choice of hymns in Tetum and the feast that followed, prepared largely by the Timorese Sisters.
