Rev.Fr. Ellie, the Rector chaired the meeting with boys

On the 21^st of October, the Salesian Community of Don Bosco CALM had a special meeting with boys. The boys were given freedom to express their minds and were requested to come out with different kinds of views and points that can help them embrace CALM as a better place. They went ahead to tell the Salesian Community their challenges and listed different areas that needed a change.

After their views, the Salesian Confreres thanked the boys for addressing certain issues, advised them on certain issues and promised to implement certain ideas from these boys in the near future. The following Monday saw the Salesian Community meeting again with the social workers and reminded them of their duties and called upon their concern and love for all the boys.

Madam Monica was blessed to host the Joint Holy Rosary at her home

In this month of the holy Rosary, Don Bosco Catholic community comes up with the idea of having joint Rosary said from different homes. The prayer will take place every third Sunday of each month and so far the beginning was exquisite.

On the 15^th of October, Madam Monica and her husband welcomed us to their lovely home where we were to have the Rosary from. The Salesians, neighboring Christians and boys showed up for the prayer. After the Rosary, the Priest blessed the home (house) that hosted us with Holy Water and had a Prayer and blessing for the family. We were finally united with a special sharing and performance and then set off to our respective homes.

Great thanks to all those who managed to turn up. Thank you Madam Monica and the family for hosting us; we were greatly humbled.

“Pray the Rosary unceasingly to obtain special graces from Mother Mary and His Son”

TWENTY EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Written by Super User on Sunday, 15 October 2017 10:30.

The Roman Catholic Church celebrates the Twenty Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time. As usual we had all our two Holy Eucharistic celebrations; The Priest preached about "the banquet" and how we should prepare for the banquet. Below is a brief description of all the three readings to meditate upon.

The Lord GOD will wipe away
the tears from every face;
the reproach of his people he will remove
from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken

I know how to live in humble circumstances;
I know also how to live with abundance.
In every circumstance and in all things
I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry,
of living in abundance and of being in need.

The king said to him, 'My friend, how is it
that you came in here without a wedding garment?'
But he was reduced to silence.
Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet,
and cast him into the darkness outside,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.'
Many are invited, but few are chosen."
