Don Bosco celebrated in Ulaan
Baatar
(from our Mongolia correspondent)
ULAAN BAATAR (Mongolia): 1st February 2005 -- We
celebrated the Feastday of Don Bosco in typical Salesian cheerfulness.
There was an intense preparation for it through the month of January, more
especially in the 9 days immediately beforehand, with poetry, prose, dance and
drawings all focused on Don Bosco.
On the 31st morning, together with all the youngsters,
teachers, helpers, volunteers and with missionaries from the other
Congregations, we celebrated Mass, all taken from the Mass of Don Bosco,
naturally, along with 'Don Bosco Ritorna' translated into Mongolian by the
teachers.
Following the Mass some of the Youth Centre
youngsters presented some sketches of Don Bosco's life, then there were games
and competitions and later in the evening a film.
