Hua Hin, Thailand, 9 March 2017 -- The afternoon sessions of Day 3 (March 9) were dedicated to the theme of Social Communication (Councilor Fr. Filiberto Gonzalez, EAO regional coordinator Fr. Drans Nolasco, FIN), being personally present 5 provincial delegates for Social Communication.
After a show of three different video clips from THA-Cambodia Delegation (Social communication formation - VTC), FIS (Vibrant presentation of the Salesian Systems of Social Communication in the Visaya-Mindanao Context of the Philippines) and MYM (presentation of VTC in Myitkyina) followed the most vibrant and passionate input of the whole Team Visit.
Fr. Filiberto invited all Team Visit participants in his 25 minute input in a very convincing, passionate and dynamic way:
During this days the Rector Major is calling us to have a vision, Don Cereda calls us to be authentic like consecrated people, Don Fabio invites us not to improvise the Mission, Don Guillermo is pushing us to go out with missionary spirit, Br Jean Paul challenges us not to repeat the same as in times of Don Bosco… Why?
Because everything changes, only the love of God remains forever (=First line in the presentation of SSCS); also Christ is the same: yesterday, today and forever. God and Jesus Christ are the center of our life, and our mission are the young and poor people.
Look at that:
- Society is changing…
- The culture is changing…
- Technologies are changing…
- Modes of communication are changing…
- Young people are changing…
- Is the Church changing?
- Is the Congregation changing?
- The provinces are changing?
- Are our communities changing?"
(Full text of this input of the SC Councilor is available on the Boscolink)
During the province group workshop was discussed the plan for SC sector for net 3 years at the level of the provincial SC teams, at the provincial SC formation level and Social Communication EAO - World level coordination and formation. Formation, formation, formation ... of the Salesians as Consecrated Educators, Pastors and Communicators!
In the open forum and assembly were appreciated some Social Commgood practices at the provincial level (formation, information, production) as well appreciated the Boscolink (www.bosco.link) with Australasia news and regional resource website!
Thanks to Fr. Filiberto and all our SC delegates!
