The Carmelites in Timor have elected Fr Roque Soares Da Cruz and Br Carlito Da Silva as members of the new Timor-Leste Council. They will work with Fr Carlito Da Costa Araújo, the newly appointed Provincial Delegate for Timor-Leste, to foster the growth and development of Carmelite life in Timor. They also exercise a ministry of pastoral care for the Carmelites in Timor and manage the day-to-day affairs of the Order there.
The election of the new Council was held during an assembly of Carmelites in Timor from 23-25 March which had the theme: Community is Life-Giving. Fr Bruce Clark (Prior Provincial) attended the assembly as did our Community Development Coordinator, Mayra Walsh and Province Business Manager, Joe Konynenburg.
Our congratulations, prayers and best wishes are with the new Council as it takes up its ministry.
