INDONESIA: Perpetual vows.

On August 14, 2021, three Indonesian Brothers made their perpetual vows: Grasiano Mbaling (Ruteng Diocese), Oskar Anto (Ruteng Diocese), and Ambrosisus Atok (Atambua Diocese). The theme was: “Because You Have Grace Before God” (Luke, 1:30). The Eucharistic Celebration began at 17:00 pm, at the community of Liliba, Kupang. It was presided over by the parish priest of St. Joseph the worker, Penfui, and 3 concelebrant religious priests.

Due to the restrictions for covid-19, their parents, some nuns and closest neighbors were present at the celebration. Others took part in the celebration via live streaming. Brother Aurelio Arreba, as delegate of the Indonesia-Timor Leste, accepted their vows in the name of the Superior General.

The speeches were followed by a gathering together in a family atmosphere. We pray to God these three Brothers will always be with Him and remain faithful to the vows they have made to the end.
