Six deacons became priests today in St Mary Cathedral in Ramna, Dhaka. One of them is Biswajit Bernard Bormon, from Kewachala parish in Gazipur, the first ethnic Koch to become a priest.
Born a Hindu, the 32-year-old new clergyman was baptised in 2002. The following year he entered the seminary and gradually discovered the beauty of the religious life. Most interestingly, on 4 December, 2020, his parents too were baptised, by their own deacon son.
Fr Bormon spoke to
AsiaNews about his faith. “In my childhood, before I met Fr Dominic Sentu Rozario, I thought that there were no Christians in Bangladesh because I hadn t seen any before meeting Fr Dominic”.
