Provincial Visitations. Fr. Jojo Magadia (Philippines, July 12-16), Fr. Larry Tan (Malaysia-Singapore, July 24-28) and Fr Thomas Trung (Vietnam, August 3-9) have recently been guests during their visitations to the Jesuits from their provinces and regions.

Newcomers. Bro. Nguyen Ngoc Lam and Sch. Bui Van Ngu, both from Vietnam, arrived
with Fr. Trung on August 3. With hardly a chance to catch their breath, they began language study on August 4. Ngu will teach at Colegio de Sao Jose (CSJ) later on. Lam's assignment will be determined later. We are very grateful for their presence.

Welcome back. Fr. Dibya (IDO) returned from his sabbatical in the US on August 6. He will work both with novices and candidates. Bro. EJ Gerilla (PHI) began teaching English to the first-year students at CSJ on August 4.

Travel. Fr. Mace left for Manila for his visitation on August 5. While there he will go to Cagayan de Oro to visit Bro. Tha. On the way back, he will stop in Singapore for three days to visit the four second-year novices before arriving back in Dili on September 2.
