Don Bosco Past Pupils celebrate 150th anniversary

150th anniversary of Don Bosco Past Pupils Association

24th of June 2020 marks the 150 anniversary of the foundation of the Don Bosco Past Pupils’ Association. Starting 1870 Charles Gastini and his fellow past pupils came to greet Don Bosco on his feast day every 24th of June in the Oratory at Valdocco. Today millions of Bosconians around the world are witnesses of being Good Christians and Honest Citizens. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Michal Hort, the president of World Federation of Don Bosco Past Pupils, invites everyone to celebrate this date with one’s family, friends and Salesians.

Editorial
Don Bosco

Don Bosco was creative, enthusiastic and enterprising in his work. He wrote and edited booklets, school texts, histories, digests, magazines, fliers, plays. From his earliest years as a priest, Don Bosco communicated through his whole demeanour and person, through games, talking, visiting, preaching, and publishing. Communicating through the internet and publishing is a priority for Salesians. Inspired by this example of Don Bosco and the early Salesians, Social Communication continues an important priority.
