From the NAIA2, everybody proceeded to Don Bosco Technical Institute, Makati City where the Salesians were eagerly waiting for the Rector Major’s coming. The Rector Major was so happy in meeting all the confreres who just finished their FIN Sports Festival Championship games.
After the warm exchanges of fraternal greetings, the Rector Major took dinner and gave a Good Night Talk to everyone with Fr. Vaclav as his translator.
After a very casual and informal dinner with the confreres, Fr. Paul led the Rector Major, Fr. Horacio, and Fr. Vaclav to the Blessed Zatti Infirmary to visit Fr. Pepe Reinoso. He gave Fr. Pepe a short message and his blessing. From there, the group was led to the Provincial House where they will stay until March 6.
Tomorrow will be a big day as the Rector Major is scheduled to meet the FIN Provincial Council, and the Salesians in the morning, and the Salesian Family in the afternoon.
Welcome Fr. Angel, St. John Bosco in our midst.
