Second Indonesian Brother
perpetually professed
JAKARTA: 12th June 2007 -- Brother Baltasar Sali is the second Indonesian-born
Salesian Brother to be perpetually professed. The perpetual profession
ceremony was held in the St. John Bosco Parish Church where he was for a time
after his post novitiate studies. The evening Sunday Mass for the
Solemnity of Corpus Christi was presided over by Fr Andres Calleja, provincial,
with 10 other concelebrants. The Salesian Family was well represented by
the Salesian Sisters, past pupils, Salesian Cooperator candidates, and
parishioners who attended the evening youth Mass. In his homily, Fr
Calleja stressed the marvellous generosity and availability of someone who
responds with 'forever', not just until death but beyond.
Brother Sali hails from Kupang, capital of West Timor, a province of
Indonesia. He will complete his university studies and will soon take up
his new task as formator and bursar of the post-novitiate community of Sunter,
Jakarta.
In the next few days there will be another
perpetual profession in East Timor and a large number of young confreres will be
renewing their temporary vows.
