From Provincial Dear confreres, This is the second edition of the Camillian Prathet Thai the annual document of Thai province. This book collects the documents of the Acts, Letters and provincial council’s report and annual report of Thai province. The wise say that: “those who don’t know their history do not know where to go in the future”. It is true and still valid for us as the individual and the province. As a province we are still young since we were elevated to become the province 2 years ago (1st May 2010) even though we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Camillian presence in Thailand (19th January 1952- 19th January 2012). Another big event is the 400 years of the death of St. Camillus (14th July 1614 -14th July 2014). The General Consulta at Rome has planned to celebrate this event in a solemn and significant manner with different projects. Thai province joins this occasion and makes it relevant by inviting the relics of our founder St. Camillus be presented in Thailand. The heart of St. Camillus will arrive in Thailand during the 21th January – 16th February 2013 and will travel to our communities and parishes in many dioceses that we are doing our ministry serving the sick. These two significant events that we heading to, will help us to reflect our beautiful charism that we have received from God through St. Camillus and make it vividly present in Thai society. I personally hope that these great joys will make us proud of our charism through our journey of vocation. Lat krabang, 28th March 2012 Fraternally yours, Fr.

Gospel counsels. These are a gift of the Spirit to be lived in total giving to God and our sick brothers and sisters, whose beauty (and difficulties) are lived in daily faithfulness, in readiness to help, without making pacts with forms of mediocrity. Received with a view to following merciful Christ, they lead us to live and be like him so as to serve like him. Let us engage in a discernment: to the Profession of Perpetual Vows The temporary professed • Personal and communitarian attitudes • We consider evangelical counsels are coming from God, so in our community, we always consider these as gifts of God to the community. • Our approach should be that of persons, who would like to know the Gospel radically, taking the gospel in our heart, in our mind, we do have knowledge but also we need to live the Gospel concretely. • Weaknesses, shortcomings, frailties • Once we know the Gospel but we don’t live it, we are unable to recognize our identity. • We make selective Gospel’s values; we only look at some particular parts or some values in the Gospel which are more suitable and comfortable to us. • Lacking of clear religious standard on personal and communitarian levels, e.g. the use of dress and cars. • External and internal threats. • External: We don’t give enough time for the Gospel because we are more interested in doing rather than in being. Awareness for work, too much work and so we are not interested in interiorizing the Gospel, we invest all our time for work to get appreciation. • Externally, we are not as radical as what the Gospel says. For example, the way we dress and live in community. Trinh Van Son Antony Rome, November 3, 2011 General Superior For the General Secretary Casa Generalizia - Generalate: Piazza della Maddalena 53, 00186 Roma (Italia) o Tel. +39 06899281 o Fax +39 0689928133 6 Thailand I. INTERNAL MAP 1. of the Thai Province; The Province of 7 A A nswer to the Project Europe The Province of Thailand and Vietnam Delegation nswer to the Project Europe The Province of Thailand and Vietnam Delegation • • • • • 2. Internal: Our heart is not free because of the past, our minds are always there at the past because of the wounds; the Gospel doesn’t touch our heart because we keep our attention on the wounds of the past and so we are not free. We are afraid to share all the gifts of God among us in the community. We tend to keep ourselves separated from the community. Each gift is for building up the community and not for us only. Points of strength. • Members in our communities have schedule and are always faithful to prayer times. • The Gospel is pointing to us very clearly: personal identity and communitarian identity. • Living the vows and gospel values are still very much present in the community. • The local Church [lay people] and even people from other religions can give us feedback and comparison [e.g. with Buddhist monks] on the way we live our vows, esp. Chastity and poverty. Opportunities, challenges. • To give more time to the reading and meditation of the word of God, particularly at personal and at communitarian level. We should absorb the Gospel values and live them in the community life. • Each person should look in himself, on his personal gifts and understand the challenge: if a person is gifted with intellectual gifts, he is challenged by the vow of obedience; a person with bodily gifts, he will be challenged by the vow of poverty. A person with heart’s gifts, a sensitive heart, it is the vow of chastity that is challenging him. • In our province, we need to discern more on the vow of poverty; our confreres are still very interested in their own needs. Consumerism trend is also a threat to our way of living in the community. • We need to rediscover, review the origin of the charism given by the Spirit to our Founder and to all the members of the Order. Lay people can provide us with more insights and motivations to live our Evangelical counsels. If St. Camillus were here now, what would he do in this present situation? We should be ready to confront ourselves all the time with St. Camillus as our model. Looking towards the future. Proposals. • Spend more time as community to discern and meditate on Gospel values and evangelical counsels and to share in the community what are God’s gifts to each one. • We should live our vows radically as said in the Gospel. Let us engage in discernment: • Personal and communitarian attitudes • Sometimes we forgot that we are religious and we tend to professionalize ourselves more as social workers; we neglect the aspect of spiritual life. • As religious living in hospitals: many of us have too many duties, always in a hurry to do and fulfil our duties, too many jobs. We have no time for each other and for communitarian spiritual life. • Time table is too general, doesn’t help to create religious community life. Lacking of common time for recreation together. • We do not let the Spirit move and guide us deeply. • Weaknesses, shortcomings, frailties • Lack of identity as Camillian religious, lack of fire, zeal in the heart to witness the merciful love of Jesus because we don’t know who we are. • Lack of the need to receive the sacrament of reconciliation. • No balance between prayer life and ministry. Spiritually, we are the directors of ourselves rather than the Spirit. • External and internal threats. • Burned out and stressed by to much work neglecting time for prayer. • The tendency to separate spiritual life from actual life. • Points of strength. • Clear time table in Formation Houses. • Monthly retreat: religious are still faithful to the monthly retreat. • In the formation houses there are advantages because of a clear time table, of time for spiritual recollection, but for a community in ministry we don’t stress too much for having a consistent time table. • On our personal and communitarian identity: what is our conviction of being a Camillian? It is not just the Red Cross we wear, but what we are: good and merciful Samaritans. • Our society (Thai) is not totally secularized. Basically, we still can keep the spiritual values. The Buddhist environment positively influences our life and ministry. We are men living and witnessing Christ’s mercy and a referring point for the people. • Opportunities, challenges. • We should look for more opportunities to renew our relationship and friendship with God, personally and as community. We should continue to be faithful in giving our time for God in community prayers, monthly recollection. • We need to balance our prayer life and work. • Looking towards the future. Proposals. • Organize regular ongoing formation programs which should help religious to recover their identity as Camillian religious. • Stress in the community the importance of Spiritual direction and the need to receive often the sacrament of reconciliation. • The annual retreat should properly planned and prepared Spiritual life. ‘Moved by the Spirit we embrace the charism of mercy… (C, n. 1) and we allow ourselves to be guided by him at every moment of our lives, especially when guiding and directing our choices. As men of the Spirit, we nourish our spiritual lives (otherwise it would die) with interior life, with prayer, and with relationships of renewed friendship with God and with our brothers (C, n. 13). 8 9 A A nswer to the Project Europe The Province of Thailand and Vietnam Delegation nswer to the Project Europe The Province of Thailand and Vietnam Delegation 3. F raternal communion • Vocation is convocation (SAC). With the profession of our lives we give ourselves with all our hearts to our religious Family (C, n. 29). Communion, which is a gift of the Spirit, becomes a kind of overall gospel advice, which should be lived with the same radical character as our vows. We ask ourselves what we have not yet given to our communities and to our brothers. • Let us engage in discernment: • • • • • Personal and communitarian attitudes • Open dialogue and honest communication among the members of the community. • Collaboration among the members of the community. • Empathy, Sacrifice, availability and sincerity. Weaknesses, shortcomings, frailties • There is no openness among the members in the community. • Sometimes religious in power expect other religious to be what they would like them to be, not respecting who those religious are. • Back biting, judging others, envy and jealousy, these attitudes toward other members seriously damage the community. • Sometimes we reduce the communication to information. Communication between us and other members should be at much deeper level. Sometimes we just write on the whiteboard where we are going, we do not even talk to our confreres. • Lack of qualitative time for community life and interpersonal-relationship. • Lack of spiritual leadership from superiors in the community. External and internal threats. • Different culture, ages, nationality (Thais, Italians and Vietnamese). • Afraid to offend a senior member of the community to the point that we never show our true feeling toward that person (due to Confucius culture) and this creates a silent atmosphere in the community. • Individualistic attitude. • The rotation of religious members according to the three years terms does not take into consideration the nature of work some religious are performing. • We sometimes overstress work more than the person. Points of strength. • Monthly meeting in the community, sharing information with one another are still in practice. Yet we still need to understand that to inform is one thing and to communicate is another. What is needed in the community is communication: sharing oneself at deep level. • To look at positive point of each member. • Community’s members respect one another and also the responsibilities of each one. Opportunities, challenges. • Taking the approach of empathy: once we understand the feeling of other mem- 10 • • • 4. bers and see their failure and joy, we should not tell them directly but we should use charity and love in sharing with them. Hosting community should give time, space for the new member to be able to adjust with his new community; sometimes a member assigned to a new community takes time to let go of his past community and find the proper way to adjust with the new one. Fraternal correction is necessary in the community, yet one should find the right way to do it. One should have the courage to tell the truth even if we have to accept that it is a challenge because we need to use fraternal love and charity. We should be the first one in approaching and communicating with others. When community have few members (3 or 4 numbers) it is more challenging, yet it can be an opportunity for each one to be more close to other members. We should listen to one another rather than to gossips from outside. Looking towards the future. Proposals. • To create awareness among members that it is God who chooses each one of us to be part of a community, it is not us who choose and decide whom I should stay with. Therefore I have to change myself so to be a suitable member of the community Initial and ongoing formation Formation and renewal are indispensable when it comes ‘to serving the sick in a better way’ because ‘competence is the modern form of charity’ (John XXIII). It is in this horizon that one should achieve, to the utmost, discernment as regards the positive suitability of candidates, their formation and the training of those responsible for formation in order to achieve good accompanying and discernment. Let us engage in discernment: • Personal and communitarian attitudes • Individual religious doesn’t realize the importance of ongoing formation. • The holistic approach should stress the total dimension of the human person in the initial stages of formation: human qualities, Christian qualities, religious qualities, Camillian qualities. • To be up to date of the Handbook regarding the guidelines on formation at each level facilitating the initial and ongoing formation. • Weaknesses, shortcomings, frailties • Lack of true models in the formation houses. • Inadequate preparedness of formators in helping the candidates in the growth regarding sexuality and their sexual orientation. • Formandees don’t have enough opportunities to acquire skills, e.g. in financial matters, in administration. Thailand does not offer relevant courses for formators. Lack of religious who are interested in the work of formation. • External and internal threats. • Lack of sound formators and person with good qualities and a deep lived personal experience. 11 A A nswer to the Project Europe The Province of Thailand and Vietnam Delegation nswer to the Project Europe The Province of Thailand and Vietnam Delegation • • • • Lack of documents about the life of our saints (well standing religious of the past) religious, we don’t have a referring point as a model of person how to be a real Camillian. Need to read and share the history of the Order to keep the fire of charism burning in the heart of our candidates. The lacking of documents, writing about the order can be the threat to our future identity as Camillian. We are not involved in the work of parishes or schools. • Points of strength. • In Thailand and Vietnam minor seminaries is still functioning as the way to vocation promotion. • We still have four minor-seminaries. The commission of formation functions well. We have a manual or a handbook on formation. • Opportunities, challenges. • A formator can’t just be anyone, he should be well prepared in every dimension. If the formator is not well prepared and ready to work, it is a mistake. He should be well selected, have the gift of being a formator and should pass through all the experiences of growth in all dimensions: human qualities, Christian qualities, religious qualities, Camillian qualities. • To be a formator is not enough just to study, but there should be an experience of personal growth of the formator which will enable him to understand the growth of the formandees as well. • Formators should not be afraid to talk about and to ask formandees about sex and sexuality. • 5. • Ministry. Let us engage in discernment: Personal and communitarian attitudes • Our ministry is quite diversified; other congregations and the local church look at us with admiration because we practice our ministry with marginalized people. • We should be persons who are always the first in caring for the sick and be models for our collaborators to follow and not just to be good administrators. 12 We preach the Gospel by our own ministry and through our service to the sick we witness the merciful love of Christ. It is more than just social work or health profession. In our work we should show the ever merciful love of Christ in all its dimensions. We heal the person in his/her total human dimension not just by curing the physical sickness but through a holistic approach centred on the whole person. • Weaknesses, shortcomings, frailties • Most of the time our work remains still at administrative level; we should spend more time and find more opportunities to serve the sick with our own hands. • We should understand that for a Camillian who has vowed to serve the sick is not enough to stay in the office of a hospital or of an institution. • We are working on the administrative level more than in the direct service to the sick. • External and internal threats. • To be a minister of the sick is much more than to be a perfect social worker. • Lack of man power, we have many institutions and different kind of ministry, yet the number of religious is not increasing but decreasing; we see the challenge of how to maintain the activities. • The ministry should not be something belonging to a person, or be the property of a single religious, it should be a communitarian ownership. • Points of strength. • Our ministry is very relevant in our time, to be faithful to our charism and ministry will assure us of our growth and presence. • We are well accepted and admired by the local church. • People know Camillians as religious who dedicated themselves to the service of AIDS people and old aged people. • We have diversity of ministry to the sick. • We are working for justice to nourish an environment of peace. The commission on pastoral care works at local and national level. Cooperation with the Bishop Conference of Thailand on different sectors of healthcare. • Opportunities, challenges. • Our staffs often compare one religious with others religious regarding their attitudes towards the sick and how each of them cares for the sick. • As a province we, in the last period of time, are exploring more in the field of caring for children with disability, we hope to be a model in the Church. • Today’s ministry should not be located within our institution only, but it should outreach local communities too. • We lack chaplains in hospitals, less people in our congregation who are interested in this field. Each Camillian, no matter what kind of administration work he is doing, should find, each day, time to give to the patients. This field of ministry is still neglected. • We should be the first to be present at the bedside of dying patients, spend more time with the patients. • Our mission is not just to care only for the sick, but our challenges are also to teach others to care for them: relatives of the patients, healthcare workers. Looking towards the future. Proposals. • To prepare as early as possible a suitable formator. Give more weight to formation. • On going formation for religious should be planned at different levels. • We look to expand our ministry to our neighbouring countries, e.g. Vietnam, Myanmar. We are Camillians for and in service to sick people, and this is the reason for our existence (C, n. 42). This diakonia is our concrete way of following the merciful Christ. We thus adopt his approaches and feelings, and his design (proposal, intention) to promote man, build up the Kingdom, and preach the good News. Faithfulness and creativity, which are inherent in our vows, lead us to base ourselves on Christ in our ministerial and communitarian choices and to review constantly our way of serving (c, n. 58). • • 13 A A nswer to the Project Europe The Province of Thailand and Vietnam Delegation nswer to the Project Europe The Province of Thailand and Vietnam Delegation • 6. • To work in public hospitals, Government’s healthcare institutions. Personal approach and care for the patients in our own institutions. Looking towards the future. Proposals. • To empower the lay Camillian family to extend our ministry through the lay people. • To study and meditate the fourth vow more deeply. • Translate more books into local language regarding the charism of the order. • Give priority on finding, training, and emphasizing the role of the chaplain in each community. • We should have competent and well trained persons in each field of ministry, become experts, specialized in the service of the sick. • We Should do research and data collection to be up to date in the field of health care. • We look to an Asian network on ministry, e.g. Catholic hospitals, Caritas of Asia, HIV/AIDS, spiritual assistance in public hospitals, a manual of pastoral care in Thailand, alternative medicine. Looking towards the future. Proposals ‘You do not only have a history to narrate but also a future to build’ (VC). By this statement John Paul II invites us to overcome attitudes and feelings of passive resignation, of paralysing pessimism, and of unjustified sorrow. We need, instead, to walk forward in hope, identifying those ways of living that lead to death and the signs of life that foster revitalisation and renewal. Let us engage in discernment: • • Looking towards the future. Proposals. • Revitalize the missionary spirit in our province. • Continue to promote missionary activities. • Promote international formation: international novitiate, exposure for young religious. • We have to be ready to be the yeast in the healthcare world, even in the environment where we do not have our own institutions. • To create more cooperation among provinces and regions in the same continent by creating more international communities.

Weaknesses, shortcomings, frailties • We are still very concentrated on the local aspects because we are still a young province struggling to improve our own province on different aspects and thus we neglect the missionary one. • External and internal threats. • Points of strength. • Asia with her young population is still an area to live out our charism and where poverty is very much present. • • Opportunities, challenges. • There are invitations to set our foundation in other countries: Cambodia, Myanmar. • We still have hope in the young generations in Asia 31.12.2010 = 47 years 31.12.2005 = 45 years 31.12.2000 = 44 years ___________________________________________________________________________ Forecasts as regards average age 31.12.2015 = 47 years 31.12.2020 = 47 years ___________________________________________________________________________ Religious who engage in ministry, with their ministerial task.

In the course of year 2011, one can notify the relevant expanding of the Thai province both in personnel and ministry in various aspects. One of the significant events was the elevation from vice-province to province on the 1st May 2010. Others were the increasing of the temporary professed particular the Vietnamese. The growing of the province is notified by the increasing of the religious members. More precisely, during 2011 there were 2 Deaconate ordination and 1 Priestly ordination plus with 3 lectors and 3 acolytes. Other relevant events are the Novitiate and New professed in which there are 6 new professed and 8 novices this year. This is the great joy and the significance for the life of the Province because it is the sign of increasing of members for its expanding and the guarantee of the future of the Province. On the other hand, Thai Province is expanding activities both in quality and quantity aspects of the Ministry. On the quality aspect, Camillian Hospital functions quite well and serves the sick in the society as the witness of Christ’s love for the sick people in Thai society. Camillian Hospital joins the health program of the National Social Security where the blue collar can come for their treatments. The hospital also benefits a good sum of income and can develop its administration system and its restoration of the new department of the hospital due to its expanding. Camillian Hospital achieves the Hospital Accreditation (HA) which meets the standard of the quality of the hospitals. San Camillo hospital is functioning well and overcome the economic crisis because of new administrators and control even though the hospital has to compete with others 3 big hospitals with the high technology and medical equipments in the area. Without a competition that costs a huge investment, the hospital is changing its strategy of giving the best service for ordinary treatment to the people in medium class by joining the health program of the National Social Security. Now the hospital with the new director and the new way of administration has increasing the patients and remedies its economic crisis. It also needs a certain time for the improvement of the hospital. Camillian Social Centre Chantaburi (nursing home) is now financial sufficiency and there are more patients are coming. The increasing numbers of the patients is the significant development after 10 years of its inauguration. Now the patients achieve 110 out of 120 beds. Now the center can give the financial support to the province. Camillian Social Centre Rayong (HIV/AIDS center) which is composited of Independent living center for the teenager affected by HIV/AIDS and the Garden of Eden (the rehabilitation) has showed its continuity. The success of running the center by Thai religious is the significant turning point of this activity. The changing from the activity depends on the individual European missionary to the local Thai religious is the mile stone of the development of this activity. Minor seminary at Sriracha is working well for the formation of the 54 young who are interested in Camillian vocation even though the crisis of the lacking of vocation is still in the initial phase because of the small family in the country. But vocational promotion is functioning quite well which requests both effort and energy from event religious because every religious has the duty to promote the vocation. 56 Camillian Social Centre Samphran (nursing home) is always working for its goal of financial autonomy and maintain of many brothers. The nursing home has achieved to give the best service to the old people for many years and it has reached its maximum service. The nursing home also can maintain the expenses of the formation house where there are 30 religious who depends on this center. Camillian Social Centre Prachinburi (nursing home) is trying to be more financial sufficiency by working with the Thai government even though this is the charity 100%. The buildings are totally renewal to serve the poor elders rejected from the society. The collaboration with the Thai government for the financial support is going on quite well. And in the Novitiate there are 6 novices who are the future of the province. Camillian Social Centre Chiang Rai the centre for the hill-tribe children is expanding and always increasing the numbers of the children due to the more request up to 200 children. This centre also is the place for the minor seminary for the 51 young from the northern of Thailand who need specific place for their discernment of vocation. It also occupied itself with the handicapped children which is the new ministry. The provincial residence, pastoral care center and centre of handicapped children have started the new community. The handicapped center for the children is working quite well while the pastoral care center is well known to welcome the groups for training. The new provincialate is in the initiate phase of functioning. The Mau Tam Religious Community in Vietnam is inaugurated for the growth of the Vietnamese delegation where there are already 4 priest religious in the community. The center is composed of 60 children living with HIV/AIDS and a formation house for the 20 students which are the future of the delegation. Spiritual life of the Province Thai Province continues the program of monthly retreat, three-month recollection and annual retreat as the spiritual support and nourishment. In other words, for the monthly retreat it is divided into 2 groups with its own program and participants. The Province enjoys a recollection in every three-month period and the annual retreat as a sign of unity. Spiritual life of the Province should be maintained as the most important aspect of the Province. On-going formation is one tool that helps spiritual life of the Province for the renewal to its root. The commission on formation is set up and continues to organizing the on-going formation program for those religious of perpetual professed between 1-10 years and now it is the time to implement and this challenges to every one of us for the responsibility of renewal. This year we achieved to organize the on-going formation of both groups at this level thanks to the staff of the commission of formation for hard work. The spiritual life of the members is quite good. We love our Charisma of serving the sick people and we are proud of our identity. We need to foster our spirituality by Eucharistic celebration, prayer, meditation etc. All the members of the province in each community seem to be faithful to foster their spirituality. 57 P P rovincial report on the state of Thai province 2011 rovincial report on the state of Thai province 2011 Formation In brief, the various activities of all communities in the Province are running well according to the project and the guidelines of the Province. Formation is considered as the first priority of the Province and it engaged both man power and financial investment. The Commission on formation is set up at the initiate period of mandate is the sign of its consistency. This commission has met every three months and is very active regarding to vocation promotion in the initiative phase (booklets, brochure, media etc.). This Commission on formation works progressively and systematically and the result is showing during these years by perpetual profession and Priestly Ordination this year as we mentioned above. Formation in the initiative phase is both at Minor Seminary at Sriracha and the house of orientation at Chieng Rai functions progressively both in quality and quantity. There are 51 seminarians who are studying in secondary school up to high school in the Minor Seminary at Sriracha. Another Minor Seminary at Chieng Rai is the alternative for vocation promotion in the north region of Thailand in which there are 41 boys. The changing of Thai society from extended family living in the traditional way of life in to nucleus family living in the big city is the challenge for vocation promotion. Member of family is reducing and when there are two or three children and there is no one interested to go in seminary. For on-going formation, we have prepared the formators by sending Fr. Joseph Tran Van Phat to study spirituality in Italy for the formation in Vietnam. Ministry The ministry of Thai Province is quite varied and engaged in many fields of health care world. Administration in hospitals both at Camillian Hospital and SanCamillo Hospital requires special talents, skills and experiences. Camillian Hospital works well and can give a financial contribution to the Province. Ministry in the hospital both Camillian hospital and SanCamillo Hospital earned Hospital accreditation. This ministry of running the hospital is the challenging since it requests professional and skill in the society of Thailand. Nursing home is also the ministry that we give service to the elders in Thai society. The changing of society leaves the elders abandoned in home alone. Our 3 nursing homes can give a significant contribution to solve this problem in a certain level. The 3 social activities (Camillian Social center Rayong, Prachinburi and Chieng Rai) of the Province are striving for financial sufficiency. The commission on social activity has the ambition to push and pull to achieve this end by writing the project and apply for the financial support both in the country and abroad. They doing quite well and can reach a certain level of collaboration. This is the method how to be self-sufficiency for the Province. The Province strongly supports for this method. This year Camillian Social Centre Chantaburi is economically selfsufficiency and begins to give a contribution to the Province. Camillian Social Centre Khok Wat is doing its best to works closed with the Thai government for its financial self-sufficiency. The new ministry of the province is the handicapped center for the children. In the province there are 4 handicapped centers for the children and there are some perspective that need to be developed and something to learn on this field. 58 Mission The mission in Vietnam is the challenge for the Province. There are 6 Vietnamese religious who professed perpetual vows in which 4 were ordained and being sent back to Vietnam. The first Vietnamese community is set up which is the mile stone of the growth of the Vietnamese delegation. The ministry engaging in Vietnam is in the field of HIV/AIDS. There are 2 Mai Tam centers running by our Vietnamese confreres. One center has 30 mothers infected by HIV/AIDS and another has 60 children infected by the diseases. On the other hand, there are good numbers of Vietnamese students who want to be Camillian and it is the challenge task to accompany them. Being recognized both by the Church and the Government is the most challenge of the mission in Vietnam. We also plan to build the second community in Vietnam. This is the sign of growth of the delegation and formation and ministry in Vietnam have to go together. The way to grow in Vietnam is to collaborate with the HIV/AIDS project of the Church of Vietnam. We are working closely with the local church in Vietnam for the ecclesiastical and legal recognized. Precisely through the social activity we can be accepted legally by the Church and by the Government. Negative aspect The Province is expanding and increasing both in numbers and activity. Lacking of religious is still a problem and we can feel it when to find a religious for substitution even though there 1 priestly ordination and 2 deaconates this year. We need to consolidate more rather than expanding geographically. On-going formation is the most challenge for the Province for spiritual renewal because there are many young religious and they need to foster their spirituality and identity as Camillians. There are persons who regularly attend spiritual courses and there are some who neglect it. We need to work more on this field how to promote Camillian spirituality. Individualism begins to come to our communities. The standard of living in Thailand is in progressive so TV in offices of religious, private car for religious etc. This is the phenomena of comfortable life which in turn can create individualistic attitude and behavior of the religious in the Province. 59 P rovincial report on the state of Thai province 2011 Positive aspect Thai Province is composted by both Italians and Thai religious in different ages. These can be complementary while that young Thai religious engages in working and taking the responsibility as leaders the Italians takes the role of the spiritual leader and being point of reference. This is the advantage aspect that benefits the life-style of the Province. Vocational promotion is working well and there are candidates for perpetual profession and priestly ordination every year. This is the good sign for the future of the vice-province. Various activities of the Province in many fields enrich the life of the Province. This attracts the attention to the youth for the religious life-style of Camillian in Thailand. I I ndex 1. A 2. A dmission to the Minor seminarians, Sriracha & Chiangrai, May 12, 2011 The future The future of the Province is in the formation of the young religious. This target requests the attitude of being more mature and responsibility of the members. More perpetual profession and priestly ordination is still the future of the Province and it needs the good team of formators. Thai Province should invest more on the quality of religious and it requires on both intellectual and spiritual education. Health care pastoral is still the field that the Province has to achieve and it needs to invest more on pastoral in health care. The project of the Centre of Pastoral Care of the Province is starting but it needs to prepare the expert person for this field. We are planning to open a home for aged in Nakorn Rachasima (Korat) diocese and this give us a chance to expand our ministry in this diocese. In Vietnam, we are planning to have a formation in Vietnam by the local religious. The new building is finished and this can accommodate our brothers since the numbers of the Vietnamese are increasing rapidly. So set up the formation in Vietnam is the priority for this young delegation. In brief if Thai Province is still increasing in both personnel (more religious of perpetual professed) and in ministry (open new community) in proportion as now it will show the real growth of the Province. In other words, the actual situation of Thai Province as the institution is quite well situated in Thai society and is taking root deeply for the consolidation in varied aspects of autonomy (financial, personnel, facility, and ministry). We can say that in the future Thai Province is moving towards more autonomy and consolidate. dmission to the Pre-novitiate (Postulancy) 2011 Bangkok, 30th December 2011 Fr.
