There's the 150th....and then there's the 128th, Ulaanbaatar style!

ULAANBAATAR: 17th May 2009 -- The celebrations for the Solemnity (for the FMA) of St Mary Domenica Mazzarello were quite special this year in Mongolia, given the relatively recent arrival of the Sisters there. The four parishes (3 in the capital and Mary Help of Christians Parish, Darkhan, 200 km further north) remembered to pray for all FMA in five continents.
    The young people associated with the Sisters showed interest in studying the life story of the Saint through leaflets and presentations (ppt) and joined in willingly with story-telling and quiz competitions. Even the kids from St Dominic Savio Community Amgalang went home with lots of prizes.
    What made it more memorable was the all-out involvement, support and animation from the four Mongolian Salesian Cooperators. 
    The Strenna too for this year is gradually and slowly being materialized in Mongolia

On another matter: Fr Pat Sherlock from GBR has made the Novena to MHC material prepared some years ago by Fr Hugh Preston available on SDL.  You will find it in the English collection by going to Titles, then under N look for the novena in either of two formats, depending on your needs.
For those who would like further information on Fr Glowicki, whose funeral was reported here yesterday, you might like to read something the M28 (Mission animation newsletter from the Philippines) has published and which is now available in SDL. Choose the 'Regions' collection then EAO under authors - just scroll down to M28 09 May or go Titles then M.
