4 newly professed in Indonesia ITM, 7 begin their novitiate 
SUMBA: 4 August 2012 -- On 1 August 2012, four Novices in Sumba answered their “Yes!” to the Lord in their First Religious Profession, that loving encounter between the Lord who calls and the disciple who responds by offering himself totally to God and to his brothers and sisters (C. 23). 

Indeed, it was a joyful morning for the people of Weepengali, Sumba, Indonesia. The families of the newly professed, members of the Salesian Family, members of the Clergy of the Diocese of Sumba, several Sisters from various Congregations, instructors and students from the Don Bosco Technical Training Center, and a large number of young people from the Oratory came and witnessed the four, Adrianus Alin Berek, Albertus Rangga, Kristoforus Tua Kado and Servasius Lado Rema as they made their first vows in the Chapel of Don Bosco during the Eucharistic Celebration. 

The Vice Provincial of the ITM (Indonesia-Timor) Vice-Province, Fr Apolinario Maria Ornai Neto, presided at the Mass and received the vows in the name of the Rector Major. In his homily, Fr Apolinario challenged the new Salesians to be faithful and imitate Jesus who was convinced of who He was and was faithful to the end. “He answered His Mother, when Joseph and Mary found Him in the Temple, ‘Why did you search for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s House?’ (Luke 2:48-49). Jesus was faithful to the end because His life had a goal, a task, a meaning, a mission that was truly clear.

The simple Eucharistic Celebration for the First Profession was made more solemn by the beautiful renditions of the grand choir composed of the incoming novices, some aspirants, several students from the Don Bosco Technical Training Center and young people from the Oratory.

After the Eucharist, there was a fraternal agape as a sign of gratitude by the Salesian Community of Sumba for all who came.

In the evening after Vespers in the Salesian Community, in the name of the Provincial, Fr. João Aparicio Guterres, Fr Apolinario entrusted seven new Novices to the Director of Novices, Fr. Yoseph Ola. We ask the readers to say a special prayer for these new batch of Novices, that they may be able to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to their one year of formation in the Salesian Novitiate of Sumba.
