Five nations line up for ministries of Acolyte, Reader

MANILA: 17th September 2008 -- Five nations lined up for the installation to the ministries of Acolyte, Reader at Seminaryo ng Don Bosco at Parañaque, near Manila, on the evening of 15th September. Twenty three candidates in all, they came from India, Vietnam, Timor, Indonesia, the Philippines.  Twelve were installed as Acolytes and eleven as Readers.  Fr Eligio Cruz, provincial of the Philippines North province in which the seminary is located, presided. He was joined by other concelebrants including the rector of the postnovitiate community.  Fr Eli, in his homily, challenged those accepting their new ministries to give their 'all' to Jesus, not what is extra, not by halves, as they strive to become like the One they serve.
    As one of the new Readers put it: "Promotions like these - let's call them transitions too - prove that the Salesian vocation is alive in this part of the world, and that there are signs that many are still willing to give their lives 'for the life of the world' ".
    This situation is repeated around various other parts of the Salesian world where the academic year begins in September. A brief contact with another international seminary yesterday, Ratisbonne in Jerusalem, reveals similar vitality as students return from various parts of the world.  They are welcoming a further seven new first year students from other provinces.
