Very important suggestions so that the Salesians can continue to be good pastors of the people that God has entrusted to them. In the meeting with the collaborators and friends of Salesian work, the Regional Councillor encouraged everyone present to work together so that Don Bosco Palabek can be a true home where everyone can feel safe and protected; a Church where they can encounter God; a school where they can learn, with their qualities and talents, to be useful for themselves, for their family, for people.
