NASHIK, FEBRUARY 4, 2010: The Feast of Don Bosco was celebrated January 31, 2010 with pomp and religious fervour in Don Bosco Parish, Nashik. The mass animation and the decoration of the altar was done by the Parish youth group. The singing was done by the youth and some brothers from Divyadaan. The main celebrant for the day was the Fr. Elson Barretto sdb, Provincial Economer. Fr. Elson had chosen the theme of the Strenna of this year, “I want to see Jesus” for his homily. He gave many insights on the theme by giving many examples of persons from the Bible who desired to see Jesus and how either they found Jesus or Jesus found them. He also illustrated examples from the Bible of persons who did not allow Jesus to look into their hearts. Thoughts on Don Bosco and 150 Years of the Salesian Foundation were interspersed through his homily.
After the final hymn, the revived “Bosco Samachar”, the Parish Bulletin was released at the hands of Fr. Elson. Thanks to the hard work of the Editorial Team, Mrs. Rita D’Souza, Miss Sushma Shriwastwa, Master Suryakant Shriwastwa and the Head of the Team, Fr. Nelson Falcao, Parish Priest.
After the Eucharistic Celebration there followed a Festive Dinner for all the Salesians of the three communities, the religious and priests from the neighbouring communities and parishes, parish council members from both Don Bosco Church and Dominic Savio Church, Satpur, youth Group representatives, benefactors, friends and well-wishers. There were a total of about 250 people for the Festive Chinese Dinner. All in all it was an event to cherish and remember.
