Rome, Italy – June 2024 - On 22 June, at the Santa Maria della Speranza parish, nine Salesians of the Zeffirino Namuncurá International Community were ordained deacons by Bishop Daniele Salera, Auxiliary Bishop of Rome, Northern Sector. The new deacons, coming from the five continents, are a living expression of the interculturalism that characterises the Zeffirino House: Avil Dominic Correa (INB), Alex Jesús Pinilla (CAM), Erick Mwamodo Nyambu (TZA), Mikael Kanisius Konsensao (INA), Paweł Murias (PLS), Piotr Karos (ple), Raymmon Vale Dos Santos (BBH), Sebastião Dos Santos Monteiro (TLS) and Willy Ndayishimiye (AGL). The atmosphere of familiarity and fraternity which characterised the feast, was enriched by the presence of families of origin, friends, parish priests, and young people from the places of apostolate, Salesians, academic authorities of the UPS and members of the General Council, such as the General Councillor for Formation and the Regional Councillors of Interamerica, America South Cone and East Asia-Oceania. Having parents from Timor Leste, Poland, Panama, Brazil plus other relatives and friends from Indonesia, Burundi, Rwanda made one feel the breadth of the universal Church and also the breadth and variety of the presence of the Salesian Congregation.
