austraLasia #2477

FABC has a number of high profile Salesian voices

MANILA: 12th August 2009 --  The Federation of Asian Bishops Conference (FABC) meeting, now in progress in Manila, was the topic of a recent austraLasia.  We now know that besides Archbishop Thomas Menamparampil, there are other Salesian bishops from Asia who are around for the Conference.
    Fr Eli Cruz, Provincial of Philippines North (FIN) Province, puts it this way: "I was able to whisk off Cardinal Joseph Zen through the whispering of Fr. Savio Hon Tai Fai, sdb (present as "peritus")", 
from his busy schedule for a conference with the students of theology in Paranaque yesterday evening, Tuesday in Manila. The cardinal gave a talk on China not only to the students of theology; the nearby community of professors also came, likewise the post-novitiate brothers and the postulants. Fr. Andy Wong was also present, together with the two Salesians in the International Theological Commission, Fr. Savio Hon Tai Fai and Fr. Francis Gustilo. Bishop Leo Drona, sdb, bishop of San Pablo in the Philippines, drove for two hours to meet Cardinal Zen, his contemporary during their student years in Hong Kong.
    On the vigil of the Assumption, Archbishop Thomas Menamparampil will "slip out "of the bishops' gathering to say the Mass for the students of theology in Paranaque. Both visits of these esteemed Salesian prelates will hopefully inspire the younger confreres to greater love of the Church and strengthen their inter-cultural formation as directed by GC26 - "Educate confreres in initial formation to a missionary sensitivity and to dialogue with different cultural and religious traditions" (GC 26, 49). Salesians studying in the Centre of Studies in Manila are themselves multi-cultural, coming from FIN and FIS, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Timor, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, Korea, India, and Sri Lanka.
    Other Salesian prelates in Manila for the FABC meeting are Archbishop Charles Maung Bo of Yangoon, Myanmar, Archbishop Chinnappa Malayappan of Chennai, India, Bishop Patrick Buzon of Kabankalan, Philippines, Bishop Pierre Nguyen Van De of Xuan, Truong, Vietnam. Also present is a FMA professor from Rome, from China, Sr. Maria Ko.
