Sharing the joy of working with the young - Taiwan
HONG KONG: 4th July 2007 -- Several young Salesians of China Province are not long back from a pastoral experience in Taiwan that they want to share with people. As one of them said in his recent brief note to austraLasia: 'my purpose [of making a slideshow which will be noted below] is to share the joy of working for the young with others'.
The group visited three communities in Taiwan. In Taipei, St. John Bosco's Parish and in Tainan, Salesian Technical School and also the parish. In these places they met youth groups, shared their own vocation story, and encouraged the young they met to seek guidance from other Salesians in discerning God's plan for them.
They spent most of their time at Boys' Town, Chao Chow. There they assisted the boys and organised some outings. As our correspondent put it: 'Through our apostolate we have experienced and reflected on returning to Don Bosco, especially to his heart, his zealous concern for the boys' bodies and souls. Isn't it accurate, what the Rector Major proposed for GC26 - return to the young to return to Don Bosco? With the young we discover and then become Don Bosco in the young and contemplate the face of Jesus Christ'.
But if you want to see all of this in glorious colour, and an appropriate musical background as well, then go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JHU0Tf2i88
