We began with the Holy Eucharist presided by Fr. Edward Udom (the eldest one). In his homily, he mentioned about the significant of various vocations in the church especially priestly and religious vocation. He also stated that if everyone responds to God’s call according to his or her vocation, he or she will be happy to live in this world.

After the Holy Eucharist, Fr. Paul Prasert the provincial congratulated the celebrants and thanked each of them for his faithfulness to the Salesian vocation. Then three of them thanks God for the gift of priestly vocation and asked all the participants to continue praying for fidelity to God’s call until the end of their lives.

After the ceremony, there was a grand lunch together and also it was a time to show some special performances of the students to express joyfulness and happiness in the atmosphere of the bicentenary of the birth of Don Bosco.
