January 31st is a day that holds great
significance in the lives of each and every member of the Salesian family as it
is the feast day of our Father and Founder Don Bosco. His motto, “Give me souls,
take away the rest”, is an expression of his dedicated service in bringing
young souls to God.

On the 31st of January of every year
the Salesian family present in Nashik takes pride in celebrating the feast with
great enthusiasm and fervent spiritual preparation .This year too we had a
grand celebration of the feast which began with the novena. The Don Bosco
parish planned out the themes for the novena as the corporal and spiritual acts
of mercy, keeping in mind the Year of Mercy.
The principal celebrants of every days Eucharist beautifully explained the
day’s themes in relation with the life of Don Bosco which helped us to
understand his life and work in a more profound manner.

On the 9th day of the novena that is
on the vigil of the feast we had an opportunity to show our love to our dear
Father Don Bosco, through the academy wherein each zone and religious houses of
the Parish staged a short item portraying Don Bosco’s love for the young. The all awaited 31st January 2016
dawned with immense joy in our hearts as it was solemnized by the presence of his
grace Bishop Lourdes Daniel who inspired us with his enriching homily. In
loving memory of Don Bosco, the friend of youth we invited the youth of our
parish for a Throw Ball match after which we viewed a short clipping on the
life of St. Don Bosco. The Second Year novices helped the youngsters to
understand that being ordinary youth they too can take part in the mission of Don
Bosco in loving and caring for the abandoned youngsters and thus achieve their
own sanctification.

The
feast of St. John Bosco made a great impression in our hearts, boosting us to
walk in the footsteps of our founder, thus carrying his mission forward with
greater zeal and ardour.
