A Big Salute to the Missionary Vocation

Some confreres of Dimapur gathered in the house of Fr. Angou Francis SDB, the newly ordained, at his Dimapur residence to appreciate and acknowledge his missionary vocation. Fr. Francis has been commissioned for Chaco in Paraguay for the rest of his life.

Speaking on the occasion of his ordination, Fr. MC George, the mission superior representative, appreciated his parents, his relations and his bold decision to be a missionary. May the Lord bless his decision and guide him all through his life.

Fr. Angou did his Theological studies at Institute Teologico S. Tommaso, Messian, Sicily, Italy. Heeding to the call of the Lord, Fr. Angou has opted to be a missionary among the Chaco tribe of Paraguay. Fr. MC George, from the office of Mission Procurator in Italy, represented the Mission Superior, Fr. Guilermo Basanes SDB.
