It was a special day in which the Fathers, Brothers, young people, past pupils and various Salesian family members gathered together at Don Bosco Sunnyside, the Salesian Novitiate of Shillong province to commemorate his Birthday in heaven. This year, the birthday celebration was even more memorable as the Provincial Rev Fr. Paul O Lyngkot released a book titled, “All in a family” authored by veteran Salesians in the presence of the Novice master, the socius, the dean of studies, the assistant and the novices. The first copy of the book was given to the Novice master.
All in the family is a compilation authored by Fathers Anthony Mampra, John Kalapura, Roland Kharkrang, D John and Thomas Puliparambil and also FMA Sister Eugenia Laloo and VSDB Sister Martha Masynting. The book provides insight into the vibrant and dynamic Salesian life in the last 100 years and more in India and particularly in the North East India. It is also a testament to the tireless and unwavering commitment of the Salesian Family members besides showcasing to the world the richness and diversity of the Salesian Charism fabricated in the local cultures of the North East. Indeed this book will serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for all readers specially the Salesians in the North East who recently celebrated the Centenary of the Arrival of the Salesian presence in the North East India.
