Kenny Ang is 25 years old and is from Jakarta, Indonesia. On Sundays he can be seen playing the organ in the chapel of the University of Navarra Clinic.
He arrived in 2014 in Pamplona and, although his priestly vocation has always been with him, he explains that it was in Missouri (USA), at the age of 18, when he became fully aware of it.
At the time he was studying music at Missouri Western State University on a scholarship after finishing high school and the Piano Diploma. He lived at the Catholic Newman Center with other students from different faculties. "It was the first time I saw firsthand what it's like to live the priesthood 100 percent, 24 hours a day," he says.
There, a Colombian confessor helped him make the difficult decision: to change his music career for a vocation to the priesthood.
He completed two of the four-year degree program and returned to Indonesia. "At first my parents were surprised, but they were very happy for me and now that they see me happy they are very happy," he says.
After a few months of spiritual retreat and reflection, the Bishop of Surabaya sent him to study at the University of Navarra (Spain). He is very grateful for all the help he received from the benefactors who made it possible for him to study at the University.

Supports a vocation anywhere in the world
A full scholarship of 18,000 euros is the amount necessary for a candidate to live and study for one year at their university locations, whether in Rome or Pamplona. The neediest dioceses in the world require a full scholarship for their candidates. In many cases, the diocese covers part of this cost and a lesser amount is required, which is always indicated with the candidate's application.
What does a full scholarship consist of?
More than 800 bishops from all five continents request study grants for their candidates through scholarships. Thanks to benefactors like you, CARF meets most of the requests, but the needs are growing and we want all requests to be met.
