It’s hard to miss h
im, because he’s perhaps the tallest guy in the whole block. JEROME or JAY as his close friends call him was born on the 1st of December 1983 in Suva City, FIJI. He is third eldest of a family of seven: three brothers and three sisters. His parents: Paulo Dulunaqio, Snr. and Maria Piniana and family all reside in Fiji. Jay was educated in the Catholic school, both in primary and secondary level.
This is Jay’s own story of how he came to know and join the house of formation at DMC - “It all started when I first met Ioane (Racumu), now deacon, back in 2002. Ioane then introduced me to the SVD. So I started communicating with the Society. Later in 2003, I met Tim Norton, but I wasn’t yet very sure at that time of my calling. Last year, Ioane called me
up and arranged a meeting between Boni, (SVD vocation promoter) and me. There and then I made my decision. ‘Why not,’ I said, ‘maybe I can give it a try!’ And then next thing I knew, I was already on the plane on my way to DMC.”
Jay arrived on 22nd March this year. He has lots of talents in sports, especially in rugby. In weight lifting, he holds a record of around 120 kilos. (See photo, right). When asked to describe his new life at DMC, he said: “I am learning many new things and enjoying them; but at the same time, I feel homesick.” Just hang on there, Jay. Your homesickness will soon wear out! ~
