ITM Missionary Send-Off for Papua New Guinea
Indonesia's first missionary
 
JAKARTA: September 3, 2006 -- The SDB formation communities of Sunter and Tigaraksa, with the FMA sisters, gathered for a solemn vespers and the giving of the missionary cross to two young confreres who will start their assignment in the missions of PNG. The rector of the Post-Novitiate community, Fr. Peter Tukan, SDB presided over the prayers and gave a sermon on missionary vocation and Salesian traditions. The assembly also acknowledged the presence of veteran SDB and FMA missionaries, who serve as examples for all.  
    One of the new missionaries is Cleric Peter Ryan Vergouw, born in Jakarta. He will be the first missionary from Indonesia. The other cleric is Felixberto Ximenes, born in East Timor. He will be the 6th young missionary from East Timor. Both of them will continue their Practical Training in PNG. 
    It was a coincidence that while the ceremony of sending off two young confreres was going on, the newly ordained Timorese priests (Fr. Basilio Pereira and Fr. Agapito Ximenes) were just arriving from the airport. They had finished their theology in Messina then spent some weeks in Lisbon practicing their Portuguese. This coincidence served to point out the cycle of sending off and welcoming into the ITM vice-province.
