ASIAN CLUSTER

The Sa-Fa Vocation Team in the meeting of 27^th April 2020, planned to expand its mission and for that purpose the whole Institute was divided into three groups. Bro. Bosco was appointed as Brother responsible for coordinating the Asian countries of Philippines, India, Indonesia and Timor Leste.

The Brothers responsible of vocation promotion in these countries (Grasiano Mbaling, Julio Marshal, Paul Raj y Jhon Bosco) have had up to now 7 online meetings. Two WhatsApp groups are going on to keep regular contact with the Brothers who work in the vocational animation. There are 17 Brothers, 2 lay persons and some formees involved in vocational animation.

Quite a number of activities have been done:
