His bishop sent him to study at the University of Navarra: "I arrived in Pamplona in the 2013-2014 academic year.

There were many young families, it was a parish with a lot of life."Vincentius S. Wisaksono, who has welcomed him with fatherly affection.

"Catholics in Indonesia like to organize activities in parishes. However, many of them lack doctrinal formation.
