- Paul Peter Sai Kaung Si, SDB
- Aung Ko Myint, SDB
- Joseph La Htoi, SDB
- Abele Nee Reh, SDB

- Simon Louis, SDB
The ordination was presided by Archbishop Marco Tin Win of Mandalay Diocese with Bishop Lucas Dau Ze, SDB, of Lashio diocese, and Father Bosco Zaya Aung, SDB, the provincial superior of the congregation.
Due to health restrictions and the political situation in the country, only the parents of the newly ordained priests and a few faithful were allowed to attend the ceremony.
Father Bosco Zaya Aung expressed joy and gratitude “over this blessing from the Good Lord for the Salesian Congregation.” - Peter KyiMg/RVA News
