You are warmly invited to join us as Br Anacleto is ordained Deacon on Saturday 20 July at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Middle Park (Vic) during Mass at 5.00pm.
Anacleto will be ordained by Bishop Anthony Ireland, Auxiliary Bishop for the Southern Region of the Archdiocese of Melbourne. You can join us in person or via the livestream.
Anacleto joined the Carmelites in 2010. Following postulancy and novitiate, Anacleto made his first profession of vows in 2014 and began his Bachelor of Philosophy degree in Timor. In 2019 he arrived in Australia. After a year of English language studies, he began the Bachelor of Theology degree at the University of Divinity, Melbourne. Anacleto completed the bachelor’s degree in 2022 and is currently in the final year of a master’s degree in theological studies.
Anacleto made his Profession of Solemn Vows (life-long commitment in the Carmelites) on 16 July 2023.
On weekends Anacleto is involved in the Carmelite Parish of Port Melbourne/Middle Park as a sacristan, server, reader, music or Eucharistic minister.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Anacleto as he prepares for this important step in his Carmelite journey and his journey to priesthood.
