Australian Province celebrates Final Profession and looks forward to an ordination
MELBOURNE: 25th September 2005 -- The solemn celebration of perpetual profession of Bro. Solomona Pouniu Paulo took place at Salesian College Chadstone (Vic), on 24th September. Bro. Solomona hails from Samoa but is completing his theological studies in Melbourne and is a much treasured member of the community of Clifton Hill.
A large crowd of Salesians, other Religious, diocesan clergy and Samoan family and friends supported Bro. Solomona at the ceremony, a liturgy with many typical elements of Samoan culture, particularly represented by the music, the elaborate processional presentation of the Word of God, the Offertory procession and the garlanding of the celebrants. Bro. Solomona's profession was received by Fr Ian Murdoch, the Provincial of the Australian Province of Mary Help of Christians, which includes Samoa and the Fiji Islands.
The Province now lools forward joyfully to the priestly ordination of Deacon William Matthews, which will take place on Friday 9th December in Perth (WA).
