Diwang Buskô
MAKATI: 24 July 2005 -- Members of the SDB FIN (Manila) Province, gathered at the St. John Bosco Hall, Don Bosco Technical Institute yesterday to deliberate on, finalize and adopt the Province Vision-Mission Statement which will henceforth guide the revision and realignment of all works and presences in the Philippines North.
Concluding more than two months of assemblies, clarifications, interventions, revisions and voting by the provincial council, the rectors and local communities, this province assembly reviewed 16 Vision-Mission Statement proposals from the local communities as they scrutinized four proposed formulae synthesizing the most common elements derived from them. After a full day of serious deliberation, the assembly adopted the SDB FIN Province Vision-Mission Statement in the following final and approved form:
"We, the Salesian priests and brothers of the FIN Province, living in fraternal communities,
are consecrated educators and evangelizers of the young, especially the poor and
marginalized.
We journey with them towards integral development and social transformation in the spirit of
Don Bosco's Preventive System."
The assembly concluded with a ritual of "Owning the Province Vision-Mission Statement" prepared by the students of theology, which saw one confrere pronouncing the adopted statement in form of a blessing prayer over another confrere, while anointing him with oil as a sign of healing and bestowing of strength and courage on the individual and the whole province community. In this way each member is live by the new Vision Mission Statement.
