On April 16, 2025, we had the great joy of welcoming the first three young women from Indonesia into our community as postulants.
In preparation, the Superior General, who was visiting Flores at the time, held a three-day retreat for them.
During Holy Mass on the afternoon of April 16, Filomena, Ursula, and Veronika were accepted as postulants. Holy Mass was celebrated by Fr. Jan (a local Steyler missionary, SVD), who accompanies our candidates and postulants as spiritual director and confessor. Concelebrants were Fr. Tadeusz and Fr. Bosco (both SVD). After the homily, the candidates knelt before the altar and asked Our Lady, our patroness, for help, protection, and guidance to her Son, our Lord, to whom they now wish to belong completely in our congregation.
As a sign of acceptance, the Superior General presented each of them with a small Miraculous Medal.
After Holy Mass, everyone congratulated the new postulants, and the day ended with a joyful dinner together.
Let us accompany our postulants and the new beginning of our congregation in Indonesia with our prayers, so that the work of our founder may grow there and become a blessing for the people.
Our first postulants in Indonesia
