The Carmelites in Timor-Leste have chosen Fr Carlito Do Costa Araújo as a member of the Timor-Leste Council. Fr Carlito replaces Fr Krisna who has now returned to his home province of Indonesia.
Other members of the Council are Fr Aniceto Maia Da Costa (Provincial Delegate for Timor-Leste) and Fr Bruce Clark (Novice Master & director of Formation). The election was held at a short Assembly of the Carmelites in Timor-Leste during the visit of Fr Paul Cahill (Prior Provincial).
The role of the Timor-Leste Council is to assist the Provincial Council in fostering the growth and development of Carmelite Life in Timor-Leste, the pastoral care of our friars and managing day-to-day affairs.
