Thursday February 12, 2026

Dear Confreres,
These have been days of grace, discernment, and renewed life among us. Once again, we see how the Spirit continues to animate and sustain the journey of our Congregation.
I wish to inform you that I have confirmed the new Provincial Leader of our beloved and largest MSC Province of Indonesia.
The new Provincial is Fr. Hironimus Ronny Dahua (born in Nulion, Central Sulawesi – part of the Diocese of Manado), who was elected by the Provincial Assembly and is now confirmed in his service.
Dear Ronny, thank you for your availability and for generously accepting this responsibility in service of the confreres and the mission.
I also wish to express my deep gratitude to Fr. Sam Maranresy for his dedication and commitment during his time of service as Provincial. His leadership has accompanied the Province on a meaningful path of growth and missionary commitment.
I keep you all in my prayers.

P. Mario Abzalón Alvarado Tovar, msc
