Goa, India – September 2024 - "Remember that you are Don Bosco and that your mission is to tell young people about Don Bosco's dream and, in turn, help young people to dream," said the Rector Major Emeritus, Fr Pascual Chávez Villanueva, during the annual retreat for the leaders of Panjim-Konkan Province (INP). Fr Chávez preached the annual retreat at the Don Bosco Province, Odxel, Goa, from 12 to 18 September. Rectors, the heads of the commissions and the members of the Provincial Council participated in the retreat, during which Fr Chávez explored the mission entrusted to Don Bosco, underlining the role of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of Our Lady. He stressed that this mission is still relevant in current times. Fr Chávez's search for Church documents established their interconnection with Don Bosco's mission and vision. He guided the retreat participants to meditate on the person of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and Mary at every step of the retreat. Concluding the retreat, Fr Chávez said: "When Jesus said: I call you friends, it was an intimate invitation to share the mission of the Father and, therefore, we are called to be happy and fruitful in carrying out the mission that God has entrusted for the first time to our father and founder Saint John Bosco." During the retreat, the leaders witnessed the official launch of the new version of the Province's website: www.sdbpanjim.org by Fr Chávez.
