Salesian Provincial Day in Vietnam
HO CH MINH CITY: 27 May 2008 -- The Salesian
The formal program was scheduled with some talks and theatrical performances by the novices, pre-novices. The provincial gave an informal talk about the General Chapter and its guidelines as well as its lines of action. The delegate of the GC26, Fr. Joseph Phuoc also gave some input during the talk. Both of them received questions from the floor for a better understanding of the directions of GC26. Anyway, a talk of 30 minutes could only cover some main points of the work of GC26.
Another item of the program attracted the attention of this Big Family. The confrères who are involved in new presences or commitments in poor areas shared their experiences and their understanding of the cries of the poor youth of today and how their communities are trying to respond to these. Everyone seemed very pleased and inspired by these efforts to re-actualize Don Bosco among the young. It seems that the pre-novices and novices have been truly encouraged by these practical initiatives to help poor youth.
The day finally ended with the solemn celebration of the Eucharist and a buffet lunch.
