``Although Leo left the Congregation due to the complicated political situation of Burma in 1960s, to day his son Bosco has replaced him in the congregation,`` said Leo`s younger brother, the Salesian provincial of Myanmar Fr. Joaquim Ye Maung.

``It is a glorious day for the province of Myanmar because of the fact that Fr. Bosco A.Z. is ordained Alter Christus. Together with Fr. Bosco and his family and friends, we praise and thank the Good Lord, for the many things the Lord has done in his life,`` said Archbishop Charles Bo in his homily. He reminded the faithful of Don Bosco`s saying: ``Vocation is a gift of God to the family.``

Over 500 people comprising Salesian and Diocesan Priests, Sisters and a great number of faithful witnessed this event with gratitude and amazement filling their hearts. Also present on the occasion was Archbishop Paul Grawng of Mandalay .

Village of the Archbishop & Provincial
Bosco was born at Mohla village situated in Sagain division of central Burma . The Mohla village contributed not only many priests and religious to the church but also the Archbishop Charles Bo and Fr. Provincial Joaquim Ye Maung who hail from that village. Bosco is related to both Archbishop Bo and Fr. Provincial. His father Leo U San Aung a former Salesian Lay Brother is the elder brother of Fr. Provincial.

Bosco A.Z. joined the Salesians of Don Bosco in 1997 and made first profession at Anisakan, Pyin Oo Lwin. In 2000, he went to India for his philosophical studies at Divyadaan Nasik. After gaining a Master`s degree in Philosophy he returned to Myanmar where he did his practical training. In 2004, he went to Salesian University Rome for his theological studies making his final profession on 23 May 2006 at the Sacred Heart Basilica, Rome.

The parents, family members, relatives, well-wishers joyfully received the new priest and sought his blessings at the end of the Eucharist. Fr. Bosco Aung has gone home with his parents and relatives to celebrate Mass in the various villages in the neighbourhood of Mohla. He will join the staff of St. Joseph Studentate of Philosophy, Anisakan, Pyin Oo Lwin as the Prefect of Studies in February 2008.
