Each province was invited to share one or two good practices through a short video.

All 9 groups of the Salesian Family in Thailand were present from the early morning in the Hua Hin Parish Hall of St. Therese for the SF Day of Thailand focused on the Strenna 2017 'WE ARE FAMILY'. After an introduction talk given by Fr. Joseph Banchong all participants were delighted to listen to the conference of Fr.
