Don Bosco in Manila for Christmas
MANILA: 24 December 2010 -- Don Bosco has arrived in Manila for Christmas! An interesting note for this part of the pilgrimage is that coverage for the visit to FIN has been given as a task to 'juventus', the youth group, not the football team! This group is to be found in all schools and parishes in the province. The students have been given input on writing, photography and videography. An editorial board, consisting of Salesians, edits and approves the articles for transmission, however.
The pilgrim relic of St John Bosco touched down at the Villamor Air Base yesterday at 3:35 in the afternoon. This marks the beginning of the 25-day journey of the relic in the Salesian Northern Province of the Philippines (FIN) after a successful pilgrimage in the Southern Province (FIS) of the country.
In simple paraliturgical rites, Fr Eli Cruz, Provincial, FIN, received the papers of the relic from Fr Fidel Orendain of the FIS . The Papal Nuncio to the Philippines, Archbishop Edward Joseph Adams, gave his apostolic blessing.
The ceremony was witnessed by the members of the Salesian Family, with military honors and brass band to boot. Ms. Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, who represented her brother, Philippines President Noynoy Aquino, and the Commanding General of the Air Force, Lt. Gen. Oscar Rabena were part of the official party.
