In the chapel dedicated to St. Camillus of the Camillian community of Sampran (Thailand), on Saturday 24 November 2018, our Camillian religious celebrated the feast day of Our Lady of Health, postponing it in order to organise on the same day the perpetual profession of the temporary professed religious Giovanni Chatchawan Wapeetao. As is customary, there was a good participation by the Camillian religious. As well as priests and religious there were also members of other religious institutes and at least 400 lay faithful.

The liturgy was marked by ‘sober solemnity’. After a period of stasis, there is finally a new religious of ‘Thai’ origins. We are grateful to the Lord for this gift, and we venerate his holy Mother, Health of the Sick. We pray to the ‘Lord of the Harvest’ that he may send us other workers for his harvest and above all that they may be good and holy religious.
