【慈幼通訊社 201039巴布亞新畿內亞摩爾斯貝港訊】 三月二日至六日,摩爾斯貝港舉行東亞澳區省會長會議,議程項目眾多。

出席會議的還包括,東亞澳區議員黃勝安神父、傳教議員賢明漢神父,以及僅在開頭數天出席的會士培育議員Francesco Cereda神父,他現正於澳大利亞會省(AUL)斐濟群島蘇瓦的Nakasi培育團體中。

一如以往,會議附有完整議題。處於第二十六屆全會代表大會(GC26)及於二零一四年舉行的下屆全會代表大會的中期,這會議是跟進二十六屆全代會,尤其是在這陣子,很多區內的會省,都正展開或籌備會省代表大會,或正貫徹他們的目標。

另一議題慈幼修士聖召的反思。各會省正考慮不同方案,包括與南亞區作有關培育方面的分享,就是在東亞澳區內的馬尼拉,成立一特定中心,此外亦考慮為此而成立一特別培育隊伍。

各省會長亦關注以下的問題:20112013年度學校及培育中心省委員;鮑思高靈柩在區內的行程(在有關聖髑及聖像問題上保持一份必要的觸覺,也是一項必須緊記的課題);以及二零一零年十月在羅馬舉行有關盧華神父的國際會議。

Meeting of the Provincials of the East Asia – Oceania Region (AEO)

(ANS – Papua New Guinea –Port Moresby, 9 March 2010 ) – Between 2 and 6 March at Port Moresby there was a meeting of the Provincials of the East Asia – Oceania Region with many items on the agenda.

Also present at the meeting were the Regional Councillor Fr Andrew Wong, the Councillor for the Missions, Fr Klement Václav and, during the first few days, the Councillor for Formation, Fr Francesco Cereda, who has now gone on to the formation community of Nakasi at Suva, in the Island of Fiji, in the Australian Province (AUL).

Like all such meetings this one had a full agenda. Half way between the 26th General Chapter  (GC26) and the next one in 2014, the meeting was a follow up to the GC26, especially as in these days many of the Provinces in the Region are holding their Provincial Chapters or else are in the process of preparing for them or pursuing their objectives.

Another item was that of reflection the vocation of the Salesian Brother. The Provincials considered a wide range of possibilities including that of sharing their formation with the South Asia Region and that of setting up a specific centre within the AEO Region, at Manila, as well as the creation of a special Formation Team for this purpose.

The Provincials also considered the questions of: Delegates for Schools and Formation Centres for the years (2011-2013); the journey round the Region of the casket of Don Bosco’s relic, (a subject that has also to bear in mind the necessary sensitivities regarding relics and statues); and the International Meeting on  Don Rua, to be held in Rome in October 2010.
