The first part of evening focused on – How do adults see young people today? How do young people see themselves today? The participants were divided into two groups, adults and the young with all the Salesian confreres joining in one of the groups. Initially, the sharing was tentative and then it took-off into a lively and honest sharing.
One of the participants voiced her opinion on what is happening around her own environment. She said: “For me I can see that the lack of dialogue is a major problem in my family and culture”.
In the second part of the evening, the presentation consisted of young people in the 19th century, and Don Bosco’s response to the plight of young people in his time and society.
To continue this service of love for the young, Don Bosco, through the inspiration of the Spirit and guidance of our Blessed Mother founded:
- the community of Brothers and Priests, the Salesians of Don Bosco
- together with Mother Mary Domenica Mazzarello, the community of religious women, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians
