The friars of the General Delegation Taiwan-Singapore had a double occasion to rejoice in the Solemn Profession and the Diaconal Ordination of three of their confreres — Brs. Benedict Mary, Reginald Marie, and Bartolo Maria. The Solemn Profession took place on 19th March 2023 while the Diaconal Ordination took place on 5th May 2023.
Both celebrations took place at the Church of Sts Peter and Paul in the Archdiocese of Singapore. At the ordination mass, the friars were blessed with the presence of General Definitor Fr Christianus Surinono OCD. The Archbishop of Singapore Cardinal William Goh confered the diaconal ordination. The joy of the friars were shared with the people of God as all were invited to join in a celebratory reception after the masses.
