(ANS - Rome) - He said it, and he kept his word: "If necessary, we will also go to Pope Francis to make this dream come true." Cardinal Maurice Evenor Piat, bishop of Port Louis, capital of the Mauritius Islands, has been collaborating for years with the Salesians present in his diocese to expand the educational offer of the "Saint Gabriel - Don Bosco" Technical Institute, and thus provide opportunities of and for the future to many poor young people who today are rejected and marginalized. And in this laudable effort, last December 1st he was received in private audience by the Pope - together with Fr Maurizio Rossi, SDB, Rector of the Salesian house in Port Louis, and the Principal and Vice-Principal of the Institute, respectively Mr. Alain Beche and Michele Mohon - and presented his project and aims to the Holy Father. On the sidelines of that appointment, he granted an interview to ANS.

(ANS - Rome) - "I have chosen the missionary life to respond freely and consciously to the call of God who sends us all over the world to announce the good news, and who remains with us until the end of the world (Mt 28.19- 20), and to work in collaboration with the confreres of my new Province where the Lord is sending me.” Speaking with such conviction is the young Congolese Salesian Grégoire Maloba sent, with the 152nd Salesian Missionary Expedition, to his new mission land, Portugal.
