ITM Missionary to Ecuador makes perpetual profession, Bogotá
BOGOTA: 8 August 2012 -- Brother Augustinus Togo SDB, a missionary from ITM in Ecuador, made his final profession as a Salesian at Bogotá, Colombia on 3 August. The event took place in the presence of Fr Cereda, General Councillor for Formation, who was making a brief visit to the Curatorium for the Salesian theologate in that country.

Augustinus is now in his second year of theology, having completed his two years of practical training in Ecuador, where he has been assigned as a missionary after receiving his mandate four years ago. Augustinus comes from the island of Flores, a particularly 'Catholic' presence in Indonesia, and certainly a flourishing source of vocations, including for the Salesians who do not, as yet, have a House there.

There were two who made their final profession on this occasion, the other being Brother Hugo Acosta, also from Ecuador.  Fr Marcelo Farfan, Provincial of Ecuador and also member of the Curatorium, was present for the occasion.

Augustinus was not left without an Indonesian touch to the event - the Indonesian Ambassadorial representative for Colombia attended the Mass of Profession, and there were Indonesian dances and food items provided after the event. Needless to say, Augustinus is by now a proficient Spanish speaker!
