Italy - Perpetual profession of Antonino Mazara, SDB, and Sister Federica Zof, FMA, celebrated at Don Bosco in Pordenone
Pordenone, Italy - September 2024 - On Saturday 28th September, at the Don Bosco College in Pordenone, a solemn celebration took place in which Antonino Mazara, SDB, and Sister Federica Zof, FMA, made their Perpetual Profession, promising to consecrate their lives definitively to God and to the service of the Salesian mission. The guiding phrase of the celebration, taken from the Gospel of Matthew, was "Give them something to eat" (Mt 14:16), an invitation to make themselves bread broken for their neighbour, in the logic of gift and service. The celebration was attended by some 600 people from all over the Triveneto region, testifying to an atmosphere of joy and fraternity. The rite was presided over by Fr Silvio Zanchetta, Superior of the Province of North-East Italy (INE), who, during his homily, emphasized the importance of friendship and the gift of self. The celebration then continued into the evening with a valuable show on the life of Don Bosco staged by the young people of the Chioggia Oratory.
