Brothers Vocation

Dear Lasallians,

Greetings from St. LaSalle!

Before I go on and share the Brothers Vocation Committee (BVC) thoughts with you, I would like to thank you all the hard working Lasallians in PNG for your tremendous contributions in the Mission. You are somebody who is called, chosen and sent to help and save the last, the lost, and the least. May God bless you for all that you do.

Awesome! Now you have chances to talk to the Brothers who are in-charge of Brothers Vocation here in PNG. The committee was initially formed last October when the Br Visitor visited the sector as part of his canonical visit. It happened that Br Visitor selected three Brothers to do vocation promotion in the sector. The committee was in full pledge at the beginning of this year with insightful thoughts and aspirations toward vocation promotion. The PNG sector has a diverse, compassionate, and vibrate committee striving to achieve the optimal goal of inspiring many young men to live religious life, especially Brother’s life

So far different events are happening and as a result, Brothers are involved in promoting religious life to the young people especially the boys who may be interested to explore and discover the meaning of life in the Brother’s life. The Australia Vocation Team is working closely with Vocation Team PNG to find relevant and effective ways to implement Vocation Promotion to the level of the students. The strategies for vocation promotion emphasized in the past months were well executed. A vocation promotion poster and a flyer were printed and distributed during Founder’s Week. This was an outstanding advertisement for promoting Brother’s vocation. Credit is due to the communication management, at LMC.

While having meetings at certain intervals, BVC has plans for the future. Individual Brothers take up specific tasks to accomplish. There are variety of strategies and initiatives coming up and at present the committee is working towards them. Contemporarily, there are three contacts still eager and persistent to the Brothers’ Vocation. They are students at Sacred Heart Teachers’ College. It seems that God is still revealing His mercy and love to us by inspiring young people to see the aspirations and uniqueness of the Lasallian Mission before all. A few young men have expressed their interest to get to know more about the Brothers and their purpose of life. In the future we may have some young men into this program called Brothers Living-In Program (BLIP) so as to give them the opportunity to find meaning and happiness in their lives
