NEW MEMBERS FOR ADMA IN COMBODIA

On the 7th October 2023, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, for the first time in the history of the Salesian Family in Cambodia, four Cambodian ladies committed themselves in ADMA, which is one of the 32 groups of the Salesian Family in the world.

The Group was formed in 2006, in a Vietnamese village called Neak Luang, where nine students from Don Bosco Vocational Training Centre and the boarders of the high school, Catholic and non-Catholic, had a beautiful and meaningful experience of Christian life during the Holy Week. They brought the children and families of this village together to pray, play and learn catechism, hygiene, life values etc.

From this experience, a group called "Little Voice of Mary" was born to continue their Christian and Marian formation and to commit to sharing it with others. As the years went by, the ‘Little Voice of Mary’ got to know ADMA and was encouraged to change to ADMA, a recognised group of the Salesian Family.

Thus, after a year of study and assimilation of the ADMA regulations, the group asked to be admitted into the Association. On the 24th May 2023, the request was accepted.

On the 7th October 2023, the first four members of the ‘Little Voice of Mary’ became registered members of ADMA in Cambodia. The Eucharist was celebrated by Fr. Roel Soto, SDB, the Spiritual Director of the Association. Sr. Celine Jacob, FMA, (General Councillor) was present together with other members of the Salesian Family and their families.
