Strenna 2006 and other useful support materials now
available
ROME: 2 August 2005 -- A collection of powerpoint presentations that can be used in
community and with the Salesian Family, is now available on
www.bosconet.aust.com . These are support materials which present
messages and explanations of these messages in an easily viewable
format.
Strenna 2006 follows the pattern adopted by the
present Rector Major Fr Chavez, in that as well as providing a central
theme for the year, he then offers a pastoral proposal. The 2006
Strenna concerns our support for the family especially in the light of
the 150th anniversary of Mamma Margaret's death. The pastoral
proposal is a set of practical suggestions and recommendations from the
Rector Major - how to put the strenna into practice.
Besides the two items above, there are two other
powerpoint presentations: The new Salesian logo, and the Salesian Creed
(taken from GC23). The logo explanation is accompanied by two mp3
files, and the presentation will only play the files at the appropriate
time if you have downloaded all three (logo presentation and mp3 files
x 2) into the one folder. They will not work if you simply open
the presentation within your browser online - and you would only be
doing that anyway if you had good bandwidth and uninterrupted access.
All four presentations (plus the extra files for the
Logo) may take a little time for each to download, but it is worth the
time and the cost if you intend to make use of them for Salesian
formation and animation purposes. The items can be plundered in various ways if you simply want
elements of them; the pics, perhaps, or the music files!
You may need to refresh (IE users) or reload
(Firefox users) your browser on first entering. You will find the
above items under Salesian Family and Communication resources on the
right hand side of the homepage. And why not check out the What's New page as well to remind
yourself of the many other formation and animation items added over the
past month.
VOCABULARY
powerpoint (or power point): Microsoft
product. Personally I don't use it. I use OpenOffice
Presentation which works just as well and of course is free.
plunder: to raid and steal. Used
here in a figurative sense, obviously!
