SAMPRAN (THA): 27th May 2009 -- On the occasion of the Solemnity of Mary Help of Christians, 25th May 2009, the Salesian Family in Sampran, which consists of SDB, FMA, SIMH, ASC, VDB and Past Pupils, joined together in celebration. Fr Tito Pedrom, Rector of Salesianum Sampran, presided at the Mass with Fr Francis Cais, Fr Suthep Jusuay and Fr Suthep Chonthong. And according to local Salesian tradition, following the Mass, letters to Mary asking her to lead the SF in their mission of love for the young, were burned.
LANDSDOWNE (S. Africa): 27th May 2009 -- Salesians in Southern Africa have come up with a novel idea which they put into practice to mark the World Communications Day on 24th May - a festival of creative media-making. Frs Eoin Farrelly, Pat Lonergan and Jacinto Dias Andru were behind the venture, which took place at the Salesian Parish and Youth centre in Landsdowne, Capte Town, South Africa. The day centred around young people using their cell phones and cameras. They were given the chance to choose a topic and 'shoot' a film. Creativity ran riot! they came up with brief movies on drugs, honey, and Gospel values!
The day also celebrated Fr Pat's and Eoin's 50th anniversary of profession. As one of them quipped, while the Congregation is celebrating its 150th, it had to wait 100 years for those two to join!
The young people were invited to make a commitment at the end of the event: "I promise to use my camera and other media equipment only for good purposes: for joy, peace, my own good and the good of others".
