Welcome Fr Benedict and Anne

The new Socius for the Jesuit Conference of East Asia and Oceania arrived last November 11 in the person of Fr Benedict Jung Kang-yup (KOR), taking over Fr Pham Minh-Uoc (ASL).

Personnel updates and movement

In Manila

Fr Lester Maramara (PHI) joins the staff at Arrupe International Residence replacing Fr Manuel (PHI). Fr Pham Van Ai (ASL) turns over his responsibilities as Director of Juniorate to Fr Jeff Chang (MAR), who arrived last June 2. Fr Ai will leave on June 14, visiting Malaysia and Singapore before going teach theology in Vietnam. Also leaving Arrupe Residence is Fr Jim Meehan (PHI), but he continues to generously serve the Conference with his new assignment at the East Asian Pastoral Institute.

Fr Minh-Uoc's on the mend

Fr Minh-Uoc (ASL), JCEAO Socius, has had a second stent put into one of his arteries and is recuperating at Norwood in Adelaide. His two procedures went well and he is making good progress. Prayers for his complete recovery.
