austraLasia 1024
Don Bosco celebrated in Ulaan Baatar
(from our Mongolia correspondent)
ULAAN BAATAR (Mongolia): 1st February 2005 -- We celebrated the Feastday of Don Bosco in typical Salesian cheerfulness. There was an intense preparation for it through the month of January, more especially in the 9 days immediately beforehand, with poetry, prose, dance and drawings all focused on Don Bosco.
On the 31st morning, together with all the youngsters, teachers, helpers, volunteers and with missionaries from the other Congregations, we celebrated Mass, all taken from the Mass of Don Bosco, naturally, along with 'Don Bosco Ritorna' translated into Mongolian by the teachers.
Following the Mass some of the Youth Centre youngsters presented some sketches of Don Bosco's life, then there were games and competitions and later in the evening a film.
