MACAU - St. Dominic Priory - PROFESSION RENEWAL OF FIVE BROTHERS

Five brothers from our Dominican community in Macau, namely, Rolindo Tilman, Xaverio Boe, John Ai, Peter Nyi and Ephraim Nay, renewed their religious profession this Tuesday, 20th of January 2026. The event took place within our conventual Mass, presided over by the Prior, Fr Javier Gonzalez, and concelebrated by Frs. Hilario Plureh, Lawrence The Reh, Paul Fan and Martin Bai, members of this community of St Dominic’s. Witnesses of the ceremony were all our student brothers, plus a few Sisters and Lay Dominicans who come regularly to our chapel.

In his homily Fr Javier stressed the point that our religious vocation is a gift from God. He is the one calling and choosing those He wants, based on His own initiative and reasons. “Not as man sees does God see, because he sees the appearance but the Lord looks into the heart” (1 Sam 16:7). Hence our respond cannot be other than sincere gratitude, day-to-day fidelity and (sacrificial) obedience to Him. The Prior invited all those present to pray for the five brothers and to spiritually renew also their own profession.

At the end of the Mass, some  pictures captured the spirit of this joyful event; meaningful not just for the five brothers, but also for the community and for the entire Province. 
 
Warmest congratulations to our brothers! 
 


Queridos Hermanos:

Cinco hermanos de nuestra comunidad dominicana en Macao, Rolindo Tilman, Xaverio Boe, John Ai, Peter Nyi y Ephraim Nay, renovaron su profesión religiosa este martes 20 de enero de 2026. El evento tuvo lugar en nuestra Misa conventual, presidida por el Prior, P. Javier González, y concelebrada por los P. Hilario Plureh, Lawrence The Reh, Paul Fan y Martin Bai, miembros de esta comunidad de Santo Domingo. Testigos de la ceremonia fueron todos nuestros hermanos estudiantes, además de algunas Hermanas y laicos dominicos que asisten regularmente a nuestra capilla.

En su homilía, el P. Javier destacó que nuestra vocación religiosa es un don de Dios. Él es quien llama y elige a quienes Él quiere, según su propia iniciativa y razones. “Dios no ve como el hombre ve, porque él ve las apariencias, pero el Señor mira el corazón” (1 Sam 16:7). Por lo tanto, nuestra respuesta no puede ser otra que la sincera gratitud, la fidelidad diaria y la obediencia (sacrificial) a Él. El Prior invitó a todos los presentes a orar por los cinco hermanos y a renovar espiritualmente su propia profesión.

Al final de la Misa, algunas imágenes captaron el espíritu de este alegre evento, significativo no solo para los cinco hermanos, sino también para la comunidad y para toda la Provincia.
 
¡Nuestra más cálida felicitación a nuestros hermanos!
