February 27, 2026 – Quezon City, Philippines.
The Piarist Asia Pacific Province is filled with joy as we celebrate the Solemn Profession of Vows of Br. Vungh Khan Khupi, Sch.P. of Jesus of Nazareth and Br. Nicholas Mung Suan Kim, Sch.P. of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Both hailing from Myanmar, these two brothers have reached a defining milestone in their religious journey. The ceremony took place on February 27, 2026, at the Piarist Juniorate House in New Manila, Quezon City.
During the celebration, Br. Vungh and Br. Nicholas publicly committed their lives to God and the Piarist charism through their perpetual vows. Their dedication was officially received by the Very Rev. Fr. Miguel A. Otamendi, Sch.P., Provincial Superior of the Piarist Asia Pacific Province. The event was graced by the presence of Fr. Jozef Urban, Sch.P., Assistant General for Asia, and Fr. Lily Loron, Sch.P. ,Junior Master, along with Piarist Fathers representing communities from Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines, as well as several visiting priests.
This celebration is a beautiful sign of spiritual growth for the entire global Piarist community. We invite everyone to join us in prayer for these men as they dedicate themselves fully to God’s service, focusing on the Piarist mission of educating and evangelizing the youth.
