THE FIRST AND THE LAST - FEASTDAY CELEBRATIONS
SUVA: 30th January -- On the eve of the Feast of St. John Bosco, the by now much enlarged community of Don Bosco House Suva sends greetings to the rest of the Salesian world as we celebrate First Vespers and prepare for renewals and first profession tomorrow. Given our position on the 180 degree meridian and the first landfall west of the dateline, we are confident that we are the first in the world to be thus celebrating! Our Brothers and Sisters a few hundred kms to the East in Samoa will, if they keep their festivities going till Second Vespers (!), have the privilege of being the last in the world to celebrate our Founder's feastday. And all within the embrace of the Australian Province!
Happy Feastday to you all.
