Salesian Cooperators in Indonesia renew promises

JAKARTA: 4 June 2012 -- The 3rd of June is an important day to remember for the Salesian Delegation of Indonesia. In a concelebrated mass in the Salesian Post-Novitiate Chapel in Jakarta at which the Provincial Delegate, Fr. Yohanes Boedihararjo Soerjonoto presided, a group of 20 members of the Association of Salesian Cooperators renewed their promises. One of the concelebrants was Fr. Jose Carbonell, the pioneer of the Salesian works in Indonesia. The missionary Deacon Peter Ryan Vergouw, due to be ordained priest on the 15th of June, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, assisted during the mass. 

The Cooperators renewed their commitment to live in the best way possible their evangelical project of life in the Church, in society, and in their own families. The Provincial Delegate urged the Cooperators to be always united in spirit and in action, as the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit are one in the same Godhead. 

After the Eucharistic Celebration, the group had their photos taken, and then the fraternal agape followed with the Community of the Salesian Post-Novitiate.

The Cooperators in Indonesia are actively engaged in the activities of their own parishes, especially where helping young people is concerned. There are also several of them who are parents of Salesians. There are around 15 men and women who are now preparing to enter the Association.

We request readers to pray for these Cooperators of ours that with the help of God’s grace and the strength that comes from the Spirit they may be always faithful to what they have promised.
