Our Visitors

Fr. Agustin Roberts

Trappist Fr. Augustin Roberts
at the Claretian Publications, Macau

The Claretian community of Macau was honored with the visit of Fr. Agustin Roberts who was the Abbot of the Trappist Monastery in Azul, Argentina for many years and now the Master of Novices. Fr. Augustine was on a visit to Macau to accompany the new foundation of the Trappestine Monastery, with the four Sisters who came from Indonesia to start a new Trappestine community of sisters in Macau. He was highly appreciative of the initiatives of the Claretians towards the Mission in China. We spent some precious moments with him and then visited the historical façade of St. Paul’s Church which was once the starting point of all the missionary activities in the East Asia.
