Vietnam's novices and prenovices celebrate Sacred Heart

HO CHI MINH CITY: 28th June 2006 -- Formation and the Sacred Heart are a common combination in Salesian tradition - note the number of formation communities called 'Sacred Heart Community'.  At Ba Thon (HCM) in Vietnam, on the Feast of the Sacred Heart, novices and prenovices came together to celebrate the Feast, but it was also the day on which the 19 novices (they began with 27) made their application for First Profession.  Of this group, 7 have applied to be Brothers.
    The day of celebration followed along tried and proven Salesian lines.  In the morning the group shared thoughts on the significance of the Feast and of their coming together, followed by the Eucharist and a festive meal together.  In the afternoon they had sports.
    The two groups come together twice a year as a formation event.  The other occasion is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in December.
    Several photos of the Sacred Heart encounter are available either through ANS or sdb.org.  A photo of the entire group together emphasises the degree of vocational vitality,certainly in terms of numbers, which Vietnam represents for the Congregation.  It is worth noting, too, the number of young Vietnamese missionaries spread around the world, and not only in the EAO Region.  We find them in Africa and in several places in Europe - Germany and Hungary, for example.
