(ANS – Wisma) – On April 24, Fr Joseph Phuoc, SDB (EAO Regional), visited the INA Vice-Province for the first time. He arrived at the Wisma Salesian Don Bosco post-novitiate in the evening. Fr Andrew Wong SDB, as Provincial of INA, gave a simple welcome speech and invited Fr Joseph to visit Our Blessed Lord in the chapel. The young confreres presented songs and speeches after dinner.

It was a great opportunity for the post-novitiate “Sacred Heart” Community to hear a conference given by Fr Joseph about the overview of the EAO Region on Monday, April 25. There are different challenges for each community and province, they said. But also a same way to do the mission which is our charism, namely the preventive system. Personal and community witness of Don Bosco’s charism is the strongest method to proclaim the Gospel in different settings. Fr Joseph also had the opportunity to visit Sumba and Tigaraksa.

On May 3, the joy of this visitation was crowned by the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Salesian Profession of Father Andrew Wong. Fr Joseph said, “How lucky you (INA vice-province) are to have such a holy and good provincial like him.” Fr Wong said in reply, “You have to be better than me.” This joyful celebration was attended by ADMA, Salesian Cooperators, and aspirants, Salesian Novices, FMA, and benefactors. Fr Joseph left the community on 4 May.
