Ever faithful to Don Bosco - Mongolia's press and translation efforts

DARKHAN: 11 May 2010 --  Reminiscent of our Father and Founder's own initial efforts to influence the culture of his day, confreres in Mongolia are following suit by developing a printing and translation office.
    The location is the Don Bosco Parish in Darkhan, in Mongolia's north near the Russian border.  Materials - text and images - are largely drawn from originals produced in Korea, and they are mostly catechetical in nature, though also have the intention of spreading information about Don Bosco and other saints. Earlier this year (February, as reported in austraLasia #2593) the first substantial work on Salesianity was published, Teresio Bosco's 'Don Bosco'. Publishers have given Fr Simon Lee permission to reproduce material of this kind.
    The Press at the moment is modest: a few small printing machines, binder, cutter, and of course photocopiers and computers, but the hope is it will grow.
Staff, under the direction of Fr Simon Lee, are young men and women from Mongolia. Some are teachers of English in the university in the city, or university students taking courses in English or Korean.
    The parish community comprises Fr Andrew Tin from Vietnam, Fr Simon Lee from Korea, Fr Paul Leung from China and Bro Kristoff Gniazdowski from Poland. The parish is also fortunate to have the Missionary Sisters of Charity.
