       Suva, Fiji, 24 March 2022 -- Sunday, 20 March, was a special day as was the day before with the diaconate ordination of Deacon Peter Minh Duc Nguyen. Today, in a packed youth and educational centre, Brother Peter Anh Vu Nguyen made his Perpetual Profession in the presence of Fr. Provincial (William Matthews), the Provincial councillors, Fr. Simon Mani (Rector of Pacific Regional Seminary) and the dean of students (Fr. Donald Maldari), parishioners, friends from the seminary together with friends and families from Vietnam.

       Bro. Peter Anh Vu is from Vietnam, and came to the Pacific in 2018 for his Practical Training (pastoral years) in Samoa. He came to Fiji in 2020 for his theological studies at the Pacific Regional Seminary.

       In his homily, Father William encouraged Brother Anh Vu to strive “to make yourself loved” as a missionary in the Pacific and wherever he may be sent. The people, especially many young people, were very moved to witness this young missionary from Vietnam give his life as a Salesian of Don Bosco in the Pacific.

       One parishioner commented, “I wish for nothing but the best for Br. Peter Anh Vu in his missionary presence in the Pacific.”

       During the reception, the leading members of the parish congratulated Br. Anh Vu with the traditional kava ceremony and speeches, and the Parish Youth Group presented cultural dances from the Pacific islands of Rotuma, Kiribati, Fiji and India.

       This is the day the Lord has made, and indeed you are all glad and rejoice in the feast.

       Congratulations, Brother Peter Anh Vu! Brother Anh Vu is currently in Year Four at the Pacific Regional Seminary.
