The Salesian Province of Dimapur, comprising the states of Arunachal Pradesh, upper Assam, Manipur and Nagaland, felicitated 13 Salesians in a common jubilee celebration at Don Bosco Hr. Sec.

The Bagpipe Band of Christ King Hr. Sec. School, Kohima, solemnly escorted the Jubilarians into the venue. The Eucharist was preceded by words of welcome by Father C. M. Joseph, Administrator of DBHSS, Dimapur.
The felicitation programme commenced with a scintillating prayer dance by the students of Bosco B.Ed. College, Dimapur.
