CELEBRATION OF THE ARRIVAL OF JOHN BOSCO Panjim, Aug. 19. On the arrival of John Bosco at the Don Bosco Oratory in Panjim at 5:15 p.m. there were a lot of eyes awaiting the blessed presence. The relics were welcomed by the students' council of Don Bosco School, High School, College, the neighbourhood people and members of the salesian family while the police band played salesian tunes. The Provincial, Fr. Ian Figueiredo initiated the ceremony by adorning the relic with a traditional garland on the behalf of the province and with the ''All 4 Jesus'' band at their best tunes.
The welcoming ceremony put up by the youth comprised of an Indian classical dance and the choir singing the Don Bosco Anthem. As the relics were led to the place of repose the children and salesian family members joined in unison with the theme song called ''Don Bosco: We live because you lived''.
