What a truly splendid celebration! It was indeed a fitting conclusion to a hundred years of Salesian presence in India and fifty years in Sri Lanka. The presence of the IX Successor of Don Bosco, Very Reverend Father Pascual Chávez, with us from the 1st to the 9th February 2006, was for all of us an overwhelming experience of joy, of fraternity and of the Salesian family spirit. From Sri Lanka, to Chennai, to Tiruchy, to Bangalore, to Hyderabad – all the southern provinces saw, heard, touched the Rector Major, and were deeply impressed by his words and gestures. Those were memorable days that have left sweet memories in our minds, which will last for a long time to come. + SPCSA Bulletin N.15
