EAO July 7, 2014 --Many will know, but some may
not, that Fr Klement has adapted Don Bosco's 'goodnight'
approach to one aspect of his communications with the
Region. Each month he sends out a 'Goodnight talk'
addressed to all members of the Region, asking them to
consider and/or pray for some particular intention, or draws
people's attention to some issue. Here is the July
'goodnight':
Please, accept today a simple invitation to pray one Hail Mary
each day all for the other EAO country confreres! Each one is
my brother!
Yours in Don Bosco, Fr. Václav Klement, Regional
councillor EAO
