MUMBAI, FEB 6, 2018: Youth from Wadala-based Shelter Don Bosco participated in a throw ball and football competition on January 31 to mark the Feast of Saint Don Bosco.
Celebrations began early, as four teams of the house, namely, Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar and Kalam vied for top honours on the sports field. Following the competition, the boys attended Holy Mass in Hindi along with the staff at 5pm.
In his homily, Father Pratap Damor told the boys about Don Bosco and his faith in Divine Providence through which he could fulfil his dreams and do things which seemed impossible for people during his time.
After Holy Eucharist, it was time for 'Bosco Nite', which consisted of paper puzzles and a quiz on Don Bosco. A song competition followed, with teams composing songs for Don Bosco. The teams enjoyed the games and competed hard to win at Bosco Nite and gain maximum points. Father Roshan Gonsalves finally declared 'Team Gandhi' with 226 points as the winner of Bosco Nite.
Father Gregory Almeida, the Rector, said to the boys, "It was the super blue blood moon night and the moon is going to shine extra bright. This occurs once in 150 years. But Don Bosco shines brightly on us every day through his Salesian family and their works."
