Gathering of Scholastic Brothers of Timor-Leste
On 11 January 2025, the scholastic Brothers of Timor-Leste gathered as one group for the first time this year. There are 16 Timorese Brothers in Baucau who continue or commence their studies at ICFP (Instituto Católico de Formação de Professores – Marist Teachers College), and until the new formation house is completed at Triloka, they will be living in three rented houses.
Three Brothers are in their fourth and final year of study, one is in third year, seven in second year and five will commence in first year. Two other Brothers, Jacinto and Joel will commence their teaching this year at the Marist school at Lautem with Br Paul Kane as Principal, having completed their teacher training. Two other Brothers, Manecas and Simon, are continuing their studies at MAPAC in Manila.
