Class
Assembly VII E- St. John Bosco, Patron Saint of the Youth
-Ms
Ashwini Gupte
Don Bosco High School,
Matunga, Mumbai.
14 July 2015
This assembly, the first of
the year for classes V, VI and VII made an attempt to portray the lifelong
mission of Don Bosco. We saw how the lives of the youngsters who entrusted
themselves to his care were turned around, how former rowdy street fighters
changed into devout and responsible young men.
Class VII E depicted how Don Bosco
encouraged the youths to come to him and ‘run, shout, jump,' so long as they
did not sin, as he was of the firm belief that moral order and religion meant
true education.
The assembly laid emphasis on the
pillars of Don Bosco’s system of education- Reason, Religion and Loving
Kindness, timeless precepts that all Don Bosco institutions abide by, to this
day.
