EAO Mobile Team hard at work

MANILA: 16th June 2008 -- The EAO Mobile Team, set up by the meeting of Provincials in the Region during the last six year period, has been working away steadily at the task of drawing up first a set of courses in Salesianity from pre-novitiate onwards, for use in the region, and then hopes to also provide a set of lecture notes for the same courses.
    Guided both by the Ratio and also by the particular needs of formation settings in the EAO Region, Fr. Francis Gustilo from FIN has been the stalwart 'centre' for this activity, with a base at the Don Bosco Studies Centre at Parañaque, but the material so far has been contributed by others from around the region as well. Latterly Fr Gustilo has been working with Fr Marsiglio (GIA) to thrash out a novitiate syllabus.
    There will be a total of some twenty courses in all, designed to show a gradual approach to the study of Don Bosco, his life and work and the life and work of the Congregation.
    These courses will, in due course, be available in both digital and hard copy format, along with the teacher's manual.  It is a mammoth task, but already showing that it can be achieved.

On a separate note altogether, Bishop Capelli writes to remind austraLasia that a third Salesian bishop of the region was also a Rector at Mandaluyong - Bishop Precioso Cantillas!  Thanks for that info. (and the news item was #2174, not 2024 as indicated, but nobody seemed to pick up on that!)
