While we have long been aware that we must return the current CSJ buildings and land to the Diocese of Dili for their use, we have recently learned that the Bishop is planning to open the new Catholic University using the site. It is not yet clear by when we must vacate these premises, but we informed the Bishop that it will take a minimum of 18 months to do so. This means that we must now move quickly to procure land and build a new facility.
