This evening explores Don
Bosco’s historical and
cultural settings which
shaped his vision and
mission. Understanding
those influences help us to
“begin afresh” from his
perspective to enable our
times to intersect with
his.
Can the historical figure of Don
Bosco offer insight for our own
time and place situated within a
post-modern crisis of meaning?
What clues has this saint left us
for navigating our way back to
the “meta-story” of the Gospel?
Examining the young adult
Giovanni Bosco, on his way to
his mission and taking the first
steps in his dreams, offers us a
rich model of discernment and
faith. Looking at his
friendships, his seeking out
mentors and spiritual guides,
and his own ascetic choices
offers today’s young adult a
roadmap for mission and an
itinerary for everyday holiness.
There is no fee for this series.
