On Saturday 22 February 2020, three young men - Sinapati Ioane (SDB), Aminiasi Ravuwai (Society of St. Columban) and Iosefu Wailoa (Archdiocese of Suva) - were ordained to the Diaconate by Archbishop Peter Loy Chong, Archbishop of Suva, Fiji, at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Suva, Fiji.
For some it was hours, others it was days but no matter how long the journey, all delegates for the Salesian General Chapter 28 were happy to return to their spiritual home of Valdocco!
The Rector Major wrote the follow as an open letter to all young people, marking the Feast of Don Bosco 2020.
My dear young people from all over our beautiful Salesian world.
Fr Albert Fulbrook, entered Eternal Life after a lifetime of service early in the morning of 12th November 2019 .
A faint knock on the door is drowned out by the wind and the rain. Mother nature is proving to be not much help in this situation. Inside the tiny flat, near the warmth of the kitchen, Don Bosco is quietly praying his Evening Prayer while his mother, Mama Margaret, tidies up around the kitchen after the meal shared with her son.
