His Eminence Cardinal Charles Bo SDB presided the Solemn Eucharistic celebration, concelebrated by Bishop Francis Daw tang of Myitkyina, (18) salesians and (32) diocesan priests. Significant number of Religious of various congregations were also present. The 2000 youth were from the sixteen different dioceses and from the ten Salesian Presences in Myanmar.


In his pep talk during the Solemn Eucharistic Celebration, Cardinal Charles Bo exhorted the youth to have courage to go for genuine joy and fun in life, to change what needs to be changed, to struggle through life keeping St. John Bosco the Father and Friend of Youth as their model who himself experienced much struggle especially in his young days.


After the Mass Cardinal Charles Bo and Fr. Provincial Charles Thi Han Lwin blessed and cut the huge and colorful Birthday Cake for Don Bosco marking the 200th anniversary of his birth. Down the day there were lots of fun. The day was concluded by the exciting musical entertainment program by popular Catholic artists of Myanmar.
