Don Bosco's Gift to Dimapur Dimapur, May. 25. The Relic of Don Bosco gave parting gifts to the Salesian Province of Dimapur, with one cleric making his perpetual profession and twelve making their first commitment, on 24 May at Don Bosco Provincial House, Dimapur. These thirteen young men had certainly, the rarest of the privileges, of making their commitment in front of their father and founder himself and it was the best gift that the province could give to Don Bosco. Thirteen Salesian co-operators also renewed their commitment to continue the mission of Don Bosco.
The Holy Eucharist, concluding the visit of Don Bosco to the Province and the Solemnity of the Mary Help of Christians was presided over by Fr. James Poonthuruthil, Provincial, joined by Fr. Nestor Guria, Vice Provincial, Fr. Jose Palely, Economer, Fr. Carolus N, Vicar General of Kohima diocese, and forty five priests - salesians and non salesians. The five hundred invitees who joined the celebration included members of the Salesian Family - FMAs, MSMHCs, Cooperators, Past Pupils - Religious from the neighbouring communities, parents/guardians of the professed, friends and well-wishers.
