PHNOM
PENH: 4th February 2008 -- Don
Bosco Phnom Penh solemnised the feast of the founder and father,
Don Bosco with a real family feast. About 700 members gathered for
the final event after having made the novena days, recalling and
reaffirming the life and mission of Don Bosco for the young, and with
the young. The Eucharist of 31 January 2008 was presided
over by the first newly arrived Korean missionary, Fr. Gabriel Kang. To
focus on the theme that “Don Bosco is a family of nations”, he
shared in a visual presentation (ppt) the life and mission of the
SDB’s
in Korea as it grew steadily in quantity and quality. He drew applause
from his
listeners when he said, “Now I wish to stay
with you as a friend and brother forever”.
Don Bosco Phnom Penh has
five confreres from five countries speaking five different
languages yet contributing as one to the formation of young
Cambodians, working in cooperation with all religious affiliations
and in solidarity with all people marked by a sense of Christian and
Salesian responsibility. “Continue to support the missionary
activities in Cambodia so that young people will continue to become
bearers of hope for a better Cambodia of today” is the prayerful
sentiment of Fr. Leo Ochoa, rector of the community.
