17 August 2013 -- Salesian Brothers are already on the move towards Thailand from across most provinces, vice provinces and delegations in the EAO region. Most are expected to arrive at Hua Hin Salesian Retreat House by the afternoon or evening or 18 August. They will engage in a series of reflections and sharing on the history, pedagogy and spirituality of the Salesian Brother - a clear reference also to the upcoming bicentenary of Don Bosco's birth.
Day One will focus on forming relationships and building community; an important part of this will be the presentation by the various provinces on the EAO resolutions taken by Brothers in Cambodia in 2006. And of course there will be other, amenable moments of exchange and good fellowship, moments of reflection and prayer, and a welcoming dinner.
From the Second to the Fourth Day, Brothers will reflect on the history, pedagogy and spirituality of the Brother, through a series of Lectio Divina (Fr Gustilo) and major presentation by Brothers (Day Two, Bro Michael Harris from AUL: Knowledge of Don Bosco's history in relation to the Salesian Brother; Day Three, Bro JB Thanad THA: DOn Bosco's pedagogy, Day Four, Bro Raymond Callo: Don Bosco's spirituality).
Day Five is expected to focus on high quality formation. The Regional, Fr Andrew Wong will celebrate the Mass that day and then a series of sessions will follow on Brother Frormation (Fr Saldanha), specific formation (Bro Callo) and then Brothers will produce a summary of their thinking and their conclusions to go forward with.
The event will conclude with a Cultural Show at Siam Niramit, Bangkok.
