Don Bosco in TV: tre appuntamenti per conoscerlo meglio
(Roma, 26 gennaio 2024) – La festa di San Giovanni Bosco, Padre e Maestro dei Giovani, è una ricorrenza sentita e partecipata in tutto il mondo. A livello globale saranno numerose le emittenti e le testate giornalistiche che inseriranno nei loro palinsesti degli spazi speciali dedicati a ricordarne la figura e a parlare di chi porta avanti la sua missione oggi. Sulle reti televisive italiane, ad esempio, sono già in programma nei prossimi giorni tre appuntamenti, che avranno per protagonisti il Cardinale Ángel Fernández Artime, Rettor Maggiore dei Salesiani; il Co-portavoce della Congregazione Salesiana, don Giuseppe Costa; e il Consigliere Generale per la Pastorale Giovanile salesiana, don Miguel Ángel García Morcuende.
In vista della festa, domenica 28 gennaio 2024, su TgCom24, intorno alle 14:15/14:20 (UTC+1) andrà in onda l’intervista al Card. Á.F. Artime, all’interno della rubrica “Stanze Vaticane”. Il colloquio con il vaticanista Fabio Marchese Ragona sarà successivamente disponibile sulla piattaforma Mediaset Infinity e sul canale YouTube di TgCom24.
Mentre nella giornata di mercoledì 31 gennaio:
– Don Costa sarà ospite del programma di approfondimento “Di buon mattino”, su TV2000, contenitore di attualità che ha inizio alle ore 7:30 (UTC+1).
– Don García Morcuende verrà intervistato nell’ambito della rubrica “TG2 Italia Europa”, sulla rete Rai 2, con inizio alle ore 10:00 (UTC+1).
Per tutti gli interessati saranno, dunque, tre opportunità per conoscere ancora meglio e più da vicino la sempre attuale figura di Don Bosco.
