BIS # 1213 KNOWING ‘BOSCO’ THE ‘SAVIO’ WAY

Lane D’Silva JYOTI, DECMBER 11, 2008: The cold in the air on December 9, 2008 did not deter the 17 youngsters from Jyoti to reach their destination – Dominic Savio’s Andheri – with their leaders Fr. Gregory D’Cunha and Fr. Richard D’Silva. The host Salesian community of Andheri went all out to ensure that these youngsters felt totally at home in the ‘Bosco family’. Fr. Ajoy Fernandes, Rector, welcomed the group and gave them an insight into the life and mission of St. John Bosco. The boys paid rapt attention to this informative and inspiring talk by Fr. Ajoy. After this, two short documentary films on the life of Dominic Savio were screened. Next, Bro Leon Cruz organized a football match between the Dominic Savio boarders and the visiting group. Fr. Blaise Fernandes then made sure that everyone was well refreshed with a generous serving of snacks. The climax of the day was Fr. Ajoy and the band performing for the visitors. It certainly was a memorable day filled with plenty of exciting events and experiences!
