Pilgrimage inside East Timor

JAKARTA (ITM): 15th October 2007 -- Wednesday 17th October sees an interesting pilgrimage setting off for Dili, East Timor.  Last year, in May, a pilgrimage was undertaken by an Indonesian group of friends and Cooperators-to-be.  They went to Spain, Rome, Turin - joining in with the Mass and procession of Mary Help of Christians in Valdocco.  It was a wonderful learning experience for the 17 pilgrims, seeing the works Don Bosco began in Europe.
    Many months later, the thought arose - 'But what about making a pilgrimage to understand how Don Bosco began in the vice province of Indonesia-East Timor (ITM)?  So now, led by Fr Boedi Soerjonto SDB, another group, consisting of 11 people, is setting out to visit the SDB (8 Houses) and FMA (6 Houses) presence in East Timor.  The pilgrims will take along some material aid for distribution to orphans in East Timor.  The highlight of the visit will be the priestly ordination of 4 Timorese Salesians in the parish of LosPalos on 20th October.
    The pilgrimage has been on offer to interested persons in St John Bosco Parish in Jakarta. Most of those who have taken up the offer are also aspiring to be Salesian Cooperators, so the pilgrimage now becomes part of their formation.  It will be their first visit to East Timor.
