The priestly
ordination of Brother Bonifácio Lemos Costa was celebrated on 4 June in the chapel
of St. João de Deus Hospital, Montemor-o-Novo. The ceremony was presided over
by the Archbishop of Évora, Francisco Senra, and concelebrated by the Superior
General, Brother Jesús Etayo, and other priests of the Order and diocesan
priests from Évora. Brother Bonifácio is the first Timorese Brother Priest
consecrated to hospitality. We offer our congratulations to Brother Bonifácio
and pray that his example and testimony may spread throughout the world, and
that he will be always ready to go forth with passion to promote Hospitality.
