Rickson Fernandes sdb LONAVLA, JULY 1, 2009: “I am the cloth you are the tailor, make of me a beautiful vestment for God” - Dominic Savio. Dominic Savio was like a kerchief in the hands of Don Bosco and allowed Him to mould his life. Therefore he has reached this height of 
Sainthood. The Apostolic boys of STD X inaugurated the Dominic Savio Novena on June 27, 2009 with the theme “The Spiritual Giant”: By placing themselves in the hands of their superiors the boys want to attain the same stature. Fr. Thomas D’Costa, the Rector addressed the boys, giving them a short life sketch of this ‘giant saint’. Speaking on the occasion he said that just as Dominic Savio was a support to his parents and understanding towards them, so also the boys should be understanding towards their superiors. In this regard a nine days programme is planned filled with spiritual activities, games and competitions and will culminate with the celebration of the feast mass on July 6, 2009 at 11:30 a.m. by Fr. Michael Fernandes our Provincial.
