Fr Visser Golden Jubilee of Priesthood
SIHANOUKVILLE June 30, 2014 -- Fr John Visser has celebrated his Gold Jubilee of priesthood in Cambodia. Read about this in the article below.
Yesterday's austraLasia went into spam almost universally (from mailnews, perhaps less so from Gmail). Not sure why that would have happened, but please check your spam and see if it is there. In the meantime, you would do well to take a look at Thoughts from the Seedbed, really an excellent production by some young(ish) EAO members, either on SDL (if you want to download), or on sdb.org to view the web page version.
The Cambodian Salesian Delegation has celebrated the 50th Anniversary of priestly ordination of Fr John Visser at Don Bosco Technical School, Sihanoukville. The preparation was a surprise for Fr John, who is the current rector at Sihanoukville and who is also 81 years old.
The Solemn Mass of Saints Peter and Saint Paul saw Fr John preside, accompanied by Archbishop Yves Ramousse, former Apostolic Vicar of Phnom Penh, Fr Roel Soto, Salesian Delegate, Fr Leo Ochoa and other diocesan and Salesian priests. The Salesian Family and the Cambodian Catholic Church were also represented by different delegations, including some teachers from Don Bosco Poipet, Don Bosco Battambang, Don Bosco Phnom Penh and Don Bosco Kep.
Fr John recalled a deep sense of Church in his homily honouring the memory of the two apostles of Faith and Evangelization.
The Mass was followed by a cultural homage of music, dancing and the presentation of a video clip, The Builder of Dreams. The childrens music group led by Dominican South Korean Sister July dedicated a short and wonderful concerto of violins.
The video can be watched at the following address in one of our Youtube Channel (Chan Bora):

Wait for the second video on the celebration at the same channel and also through the Fr John's official Facebook Page:
