Going out to share... a new mission for the Vicariate of Thailand
On Saturday, September 28th, the parishioners of Fang witnessed a memorable event in the history of the Parish of the Epiphany, founded 46 years ago by the PIME Fathers: in the presence of Mgr Francis Xavier Vira Arpondratana, Bishop of Chiang Mai, the PIME fathers, after running it for 46 years, “handed it over” to the religious of Betharram: with a symbolic gesture, Fr. Maurizio Airoldi, superior of the PIME in Thailand entrusted this parish to Fr John Chan Kunu scj, Regional Vicar in Thailand.
Along with many fathers and brothers, Fr. Peter Nonthaphat Mayoe scj, the new Parish Priest, and Fr. Alfonso Praesert Pitakkiriboon scj, his assistant, were also present.
Many faithful turned out for this occasion to express their gratitude to the PIME Fathers for the 46 years of their valuable ministry, and to welcome the religious of Betharram who are starting this new mission.
