In September, Fr. Mark Fortner, SCJ, took part in the anniversary celebrations of the Indonesian Province, where he had served as a missionary for over 30 years. “One of the highlights for me was meeting Bishop Vincentius Setiawan Triatmojo, whom I baptized as an infant in 1971 in the mountainous village of Sindang, Sumatra,” said Fr. Mark. “Pope Francis appointed Bishop Triatmojo as the bishop of Tanjung Karang, Sumatra, on December 17, 2022. In 2000, Archbishop Emeritus, Aloysius Sudarso, SCJ, ordained Bishop Triatmojo to the priesthood.”
