For us, young Salesians, it is very encouraging to see the whole community taking part in the activities of the Saturday Oratory. It is a strong reminder of Don Bosco’s message in his 1884 letter from Rome.
What follows makes reference to a number of photos we have sent along for you to see.
- Sharing a smile and a message for the day with the young one. This Brother arrived from Samoa recently and has adapted to the Fijian setting quickly. His enthusiasm and way of communicating bring a lot of joy to the young.
- Rugby is “the” sport of the Pacific, especially in Fiji. It is unthinkable to have a gathering of young people like at the Oratory and not play rugby. Everyone has a go, the boys and the girls, and little ones and the older ones.
- Brother Atonio Lealea playing with a little ones. They want to play anything, and Br. Atonio’s creativity in spontaneously making up different activities for the young is something to see and experience.
- There is a lot of noise and laughter at the Oratory in Suva… as one can imagine what it was like at Valdocco with the young and Don Bosco.
