Admission to novitiate and First Profession.
On July 2, 2021, the Nita-Maumere community
held an annual retreat. After completing of the week, the twelve postulants
were accepted as novices. They received the traditional habit of the Institute
as a sign of starting their novitiate.
On July 10, 2021, the twelve novices made
their First Vows, with the theme “Rise and go” (Luke 17:19). Eight of the new Brothers
come from Indonesia and four from Timor Leste. Unlike usual, the celebration of
the vows was done this time without the presence of parents or family members,
because they are still following the health protocol due to Covid-19.
This celebration was also
to give thanks for the presence of the Institute of the Brothers of the Holy
Family in Indonesia in the 10th anniversary. The eucharistic celebration was
presided over by the bishop of Maumere, Mgr. Edwaldus Martinus Sedu, and also
attended by several priests and sisters.
