On the same day at 10.00 am, during a eucharistic celebration presided over by Mgr. Vitus Rubiyanto Solichin, S.X. – Bishop of Padang Diocese and concelebrated by P. Y.R. Edi Purwanto, Pr – Vicar General of Semarang Archdiocese, Bro. Jose Maria de Araujo Barreiro and Bro. Ignatius Andri Pratomo took their final vows, and subsequently, Bro. Paulinus and Bro. Gregorius Anggara Tadon took their first vows. The General Superior (Bro. Augustine Kubdaar) received the profession of vows of these brothers. These occasions were attended by members of the General Council, Br. Johan Muijtjens (former General Superior) from the Netherlands, Br. Lucio Torrés Martin (Provincial Superior of Chile), and many brothers from Indonesia and friends and collaborators of the Brothers. The celebration had a special choir from Pangudi Luhur Servatius Senior High School of Kampung Sawah, Bekasi. 

Following the celebration in the Chapel, everyone gathered in the Pangudi Luhur van Lith Senior High School Hall for the reception. It was an opportunity to reconnect with fellow brothers, friends, and families while strengthening our mutual collaboration and friendship in Christ's mission. The reunion felt especially warm because the brothers were joined by their guests and families. We appreciate this thoughtful gift. The July 1 - 2, 2023, celebration is seen as a celebration of the FIC big family by the FIC Indonesia brothers.
