Bangalore:SAR News
“Father, I want to become a Salesian” This is the greatest aspiration of a Pakistani Catholic youth, Frederic Aseem, who was one the 19 Pakistani delegates to the Asian Youth Day III, being held here these days. Aseem knelt before Bishop Vincent Samuel of Neyattinkara, who presided over the concelebrated Eucharist on Sunday evening at the Ascension church, St. Thomas Town, and asked for his blessing.
The foreign delegates – 420 of them – who arrived here on Saturday and Sunday from several nations in Asia - Bangladesh, Cambodia, China-Hongkong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Macao, Malesia, Nepal, Mangolia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam – were excited over the rousing welcome they received from the garden city of India Bangalore. All of them were received into 250 Catholic families in the city who gave them hospitality for the night. All of them joined the Eucharist and songs in two parishes to the wonder and excitement of the onlookers particularly the people of other faiths. The chief celebrant Bishop Samuel Vincent of Neyyattinkara, Kerala said: “We are one body of Jesus Christ, because we feed on the one bread which is His body. We invite every one to accept Jesus Christ so that we all make one body for the peace of the entire world.”
