The long-awaited dream of ADMA's second Congress in the EAO Region is coming closer (11-12 Sept).

The Mary Help of Christians Association (ADMA) is already present in three EAO provinces (FIS-FIN: Philippines and TLS: Timor Leste) with almost 80 local groups. Another 11 local ADMA groups have just recently started in Hong Kong: 1 (CIN), Seoul-Gwangju: 2 (KOR), Bangkok: 1(THA), Trai Gao and HCM City: 2 (VIE), Sumba-Jakarta: 2 (INA), Port Moresby-PNG: 2 (PGS), Tokyo: 1(GIA).

As for each ADMA Congress, the 2nd EAO regional congress is also open to any member of the Salesian Family. Don't miss this occasion to revive your relationship with Mary, as the first disciple and missionary of Jesus:

Theme: “Like Mary we Walk with Jesus”

Time: September 11-12, 2021 (2 hours each day, starting at 8 AM Italy time)

Venue: Zoom digital platform with translations to EAO languages (LIVE streaming)

Goals:

1. Strengthen - deepen the ADMA member's identity

2. Assist recently started or starting ADMA centers, especially with younger members

3. Growth in synergy with the world-wide ADMA Association (800+ local centers)

4. Mutually inspire each other with personal and community ADMA experience

There are many expectations from this EAO ADMA Congress, as underlined Fr Joseph Phuoc (EAO SDB regional councillor) in this final remarks: "We would like to accompany especially the starting ADMA groups around the region and we expect also a growth of deeper charismatic identity among the ADMA members. As each international event, also this EAO Congress is not so much important as celebration, but in the preparatory phase we try to involve more new members and other groups of the Salesian Family."
