CRF annual meeting in Dili

From November 9-12, the annual East Asia-Oceania (EAO) Regional Formation meeting took place in Dili, Timor-Leste, a nation rich in faith and vocations. Delegates from across the region gathered for four intensive days, led by Fr. Anthony Nguyen, Fr. Jose Kuttianimattathil, and Br. Raymond Callo. Key discussions included safeguarding minors and vulnerable adults (presented by Fr. Chris Ford, AUS), criteria for candidate discernment, and fostering sexual and affective maturity in formation. Updates on the ongoing revision of the Ratio were shared, with a final draft expected after GC 29. A vibrant session on interfaith engagement highlighted challenges faced in predominantly non-Christian contexts. The meeting concluded with actionable goals for enhancing formation. Delegates left energized for next year’s gathering in Jakarta, Indonesia.
