The atmosphere was filled with the spirit of joy, peace and happiness exuding gratitude for dedication and commitment of the past years living with the salesian as Br Conrad again proclaim to live a life of poverty, chastity and obedience to the superiors.
Br Conrad thanked God for the protection and many blessings bestowed upon him during the past years. “I did not know the salesians, but only the MSC congregation during my high school days, but I know God had a plan for me and I thank God for showing me the path” he said Joyfully.
“Many young people lack fidelity and commitment to the vocation because the energy of staying in vocation is prayer’’. “Many Papua New Guineans would like to join religious life, but to be faithful and committed in one’s vocation is very challenging” he added.
Bro Conrad concluded by requesting for prayers to help support him in faith for the years to come so that he can faithfully fulfil the dreams to live for the poor and the marginalised youths.
