Salesian Educators Retreat 2010
MANILA: 14 May 2010 -- Some 350 teachers from the five Don Bosco schools and colleges of the Philippines North Province (FIN) participated this 11-13 May 2010 in the Salesian Educators’ Retreat “SER 2010” held in the Carmelite Missionaries Center for Spirituality, Tagaytay City, a mountain retreat and resort place south of Manila.
Fr. Fabio Attard, General Councillor for Youth Ministry, facilitated the retreat, developing the theme “Salesian Educator: Disciple of Christ, Apostle for the Young.” The three days were spent by the teachers reflecting on the inspiring and incisive “lectio divina” type conferences of Fr. Fabio during the morning and afternoon sessions. The participants deepened themselves further in their long moments of silence adoration, and confession, along with their personal story telling in small groups in the evening.
The retreat ended with each Don Bosco setting offering their symbols of commitment as educators in a meaningful Eucharistic Celebration. The Provincial, Fr. Eli Cruz, and Fr. Onofre Inocencio, Head of the Office for the Development of the Educational Apostolate (ODEA), along with the Salesian Heads of the Pastoral Offices of each setting, spearheaded and organized this meaningful retreat.
On 14-16 May, Fr. Fabio Attard preaches the same to the second batch of 150 instructors from the 8 vocational training centers of the FIN. This is the second retreat in the past ten years where the FIN educators are gathered together, besides the annual summer retreat of their own settings. Interspersed with congresses and other forms of assemblies, the Salesian Educators Movement of the FIN are preparing themselves through these days of spirituality for application as a distinct member of the Salesian Family towards 2015, their gift for the 200th birthday of Don Bosco.
