The second regional bursars meeting was held in the Carmelite Missionary Retreat House, Tagaytay City, Philippines on 17-22 October 2011. Seventeen participants (bursars, mission procurators, and fund-raisers) from India (2), Philippines and Papua New Guinea (7), Indonesia (4), Australia (2), Fr. Kevin Alban (General bursar) and Fr. Albertus Herwanta (General Councilor for Asia-Australia-Oceania) were present. The meeting discussed the questionnaire and preliminary considerations on fund-raising prepared by the Regional Fund-raising Committee which met in Jakarta in January 2011.


The main topic of the meeting was fund-raising, where each province, commissary, and delegation presented and shared their experience and method of raising-fund. This sharing was very enriching and encouraging. An ad-hoc regional task-force was formed which consists of Fr. Jim DesLauriers (Aust), Fr. Paul Poovan (Ind), Fr. Aris Escobal (Phil), Fr. Alexander Agung (Indo). A member for this task-force from Vietnam is still to be named. The responsibility of this task-force is to gather, analyze fund-raising data in the Asian area, and to prepare material for the third Asian bursars meeting to be held in Sassone, Italy, during the triennial international bursars meeting in October 2012.
