2208 Mini-chapter in Mongolia

First Mini-Chapter for Salesians in Mongolia

ULAANBAATAR: 27th July 2008 -- It took just two days but it made history for the handful of Salesians in Mongolia - their first Mini-Chapter.  The event took place in the capital over 23rd and 24th July.  All Salesian confrères took part.  Three came from Darkhan, 200 kms from Ulaanbaatar, three from the Amgalan Youth Centre for street children and three from Don Bosco Technical School in the capital.
    All participants showed their spirit of belonging to the Salesian Mongolia Mission.  The event was held with the Provincial (VIE) present. As a result they have drawn up their OPP (Overall Province Plan), in this case more of a 'delegation' plan, to set out their education and evangelisation programme, with a view to consolidating but also looking to new responses in Darkhan and Selenge, entrusted to the Salesians. 
    It is worth noting that after just three years of presence in Darkhan, the Salesians already have a daily oratory and parish with 89 Christians and 15 catechumens.
