After Blessing the Church and its people, Bishop da Silva of Dili proclaims that Railaco has been elevated to full parish status under the care of the Jesuits – a dream for parish priest Fr Joseph Phuong SJ, who has worked tirelessly for years with his catechists and villagers in this remote mountainous area to make the dream a reality for all.

Our sister parish in Railaco – June 2017
If we Caniceians continue to heed the frequent calls of the gospels to reach out to the needy, St Canice’s will be kept very busy acknowledging all our contributions, large and small. But beyond that, and as importantly, we would be living out our faith, enriching our spirit and building our parish community.
Parish Ambassador MICHAEL MUSGRAVE’S VISIT TO RAILACO – JUNE 2017
As we nourish our parish, we colour Timor’s future!” Our accompaniment allows Railaco’s marginalised families to grow in community, opportunity and hope. Our impact extends far beyond a simple nutritious meal, a medical check-up, and a class in school; we are allowing Railaco villagers to lead better lives now and for generations in the future.
Our ongoing involvement keeps us aware; it reminds us of our privilege; and gives us the opportunity to gain in a spiritual way. Our life is enriched by the work that is done there!
