Actually, Justinus Darmojuwono did not get permission to be a priest from his father.

After he graduated from Minor Seminary of Mertoyudan, Magelang, he continued to the Major Seminary of St. Paul, Yogyakarta. He was ordained priest by Mgr. Soegijapranata in Kotabaru, Yogyakarta on 1947. He was also went to Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.
