austraLasia #2749 Don Bosco touches down in East Asia
Seoul: 30 October 2010 -- Don Bosco's casket landed in Korea on
25th October, to begin its pilgrimage throughout the EAO Region.
It finally arrived at provincial house on the 29th, Don Rua's feast
day, after a long process of customs entry at Incheon airport. Thank
the Lord it arrived before recent events in the airways and cargo
departments! The official schedule for exposition starts on 1st
November in the chapel at the provincial house, Seoul.
The arrival of Don Bosco coincides with the meeting
of practical trainees in the province, meeting over three days. This is
an annual meeting and on this occasion involves 11 young Salesians.
Thanks to Don Bosco's early arrival, the young confreres have a good
chance to enjoy his presence exclusively, possibly something of a first
around the Salesian world.
On this feast day of Don Rua, commemorating the
centenary of his death, the young Salesians were invited by the
Provincial, Fr Stefano Nam, to meditate on their part of the 'we go
halves' deal for poor youngsters and to renew their 'Da mihi animas
cetera tolle' before the Casket, following Don Rua's good example. _________________ AustraLasia is an
