Thai Province celebrates a belated Salesian Family Day

BANGKOK: 1 July 2012 --  Salesian Family Day is usually celebrated in the Thai Province in January, but this year with the disastrous floods around and in the capital city, such a celebration was not possible.  Instead, the Province chose the end of June, and some 300 members of the Salesian Family in the Province (9 groups) gathered at Phra Mae Maree, Sathorn, Bangkok on 30th June.
    Salesian Family groups in Thailand, other than the SDB are: FMA, ASC, SIHM, VDB, ADMA, DQM (Daughters of the Queenship of Mary), SQM (Sisters of the Queenship of Mary), and Past Pupils.
    Following an opening address from the Provincial, Fr Paul Prasert Somngam, Fr Joseph Banchong Santisukniran explained the Strenna 2012 and then presented participants with the life of the Servant of God, Fr Carlo della Torre.
     In the afternoon session a number of the Groups presented their activities: VDB Action Plan, 75 years of the SIHM, ASC activities for the past year. The FMA presented their VIDES and SSYV (both Volunteer organisations), while the SDB outlined preparations for 2015 and the Bicentenary. The day concluded with a Mass at which the Provincial presided and a number of Salesian priests concelebrated.
     The Salesisan Family SDB Delegate is Fr Francis Cais.
