DON BOSCO ON AN ``ASHWAMEDHA`` IN JOWAI DIOCESE By Anikuzhikattil Joseph
Guwahati, Jun. 12. Shillong, June 09: The pilgrim relic of St. John Bosco, the saint of youth, is on an ``aswamedha`` all over the Diocese of Jowai. Beginning its journey from Shillong at 06.00 am on 09th June 2011, the convoy entered the diocese of Jowai, around 7.00 am. There was a big reception for Don Bosco at UMMULONG. The cortege of Don Bosco`s relic could not proceed because of the crowd and had to stop at the tri junction in order to give the people to have a chance glimpse at the sacred relic of the saint, the father and friend of youth. The Christian community at Ummulong has a very strong presence. Began right from 1926 by Don Dominic Farina SDB. They remain very much attached to the Salesians and Don Bosco even today.
