Orientation for new Missionaries

Fr. Yulius YASINTO and Fr. Gabriel KOTEN organize the orientation programmes for the new missionaries assigned to Timor Loro Sae (former East Timor).

Yulius is responsible for the English speaking confreres while Gabriel looks after the Portuguese speaking ones. Alan RESUENA and Ferdinand BONDOC from the Philippines are now in Nenuk, West Timor, learning Indonesian, as a bridge to learn Tetum. They’ll soon start their livein programme in two of our parishes in East Timor, for six months, before receiving their appointments

Fr. Yulius is also responsible for the orientation programme for all new missionaries arriving in Dili. The Bishop of Dili has appointed him as the Episcopal Vicar for Religious Institutions/Congregations for the period of 2005-2008.
