Anisakan, Myanmar - January 2025 - The General Councillor for Formation, Fr Ivo Coelho, presided at Mass on the occasion of the feast of Don Bosco, 31 January, at the Mary Help of Christians Shrine in Anisakan. During the Mass, attended by about 300 people, 17 children received their First Communion. In his homily, Fr Coelho spoke about Don Bosco's Dream at 9 years of age in a lively and interesting way. When he spoke passionately about the early days of Don Bosco's youth ministry in Turin, the youngsters in the crowd listened attentively with amazement and admiration. The Superior of the Salesian vice-Province of Myanmar (MYM), Don Bosco Nyi Nyi, translated his homily sentence by sentence accurately, without omitting the meaning of any word. After Mass, a short one-hour play on the challenges and dangers that Don Bosco encountered in his youth ministry, entitled ‘Zeal and Courage’, was staged by the Salesian prenovices. At the end of the play, the General Councillor was deeply impressed by the acting skills of the prenovices, so much so that he praised each of them in front of the audience. At the end, the Superior, Fr Nyi Nyi, thanked Fr Ivo Coelho for his unexpected visit to the Salesian Family in Myanmar, especially in these critical political situations. In the afternoon, the General Councillor visited the National Park, accompanied by some Salesians.
