Mission Cooperative Plan New Rochelle, New York

ORANGE, NJ: 1 July 2009 -- Sixteen Salesians from Bolivia, Cambodia (Fr Leo Ochoa), Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, India, Liberia, Mexico, Uganda and Zambia assembled at New Rochelle, N.Y. and were briefed on the Mission Cooperative Plan (MCP) for Summer 2009. The MCP program has been the brainchild of the Salesian Mission Office as a DOMISAL* awareness program in the U.S.A. on summer holidays.
    The orientation day took place last June 17, 2009 and the whole program will end by August 16, 2009. MCP is a weekend special message about the Church’s Mission during all the masses in the assigned parishes by the Diocesan Director of the Propagation of Faith to make the annual Mission Appeal for the Salesian Society of St. John Bosco. 
    Fr. Mark Hyde heads the Salesian Mission Office based at New Rochelle, N.Y. Fr. Hyde welcomed the missionaries and introduced the Preventive System as creating safe environments in Salesian presences as focal point of the orientation day.
    He also communicated the greetings and encouraging words from Fr. Vaclav Klement, the Councilor for the Missions.

DOMISAL: Salesian Mission Day, usually a Sunday
