Mumbai 6-9 November: NECDBS meeting held at Don Bosco International School Matunga, Mumbai with an eventful day of animation sessions, discussions and cultural programmes. There were 142 participants along with Principals and delegates from all over India and 6 Principals from our Province participated.
The Regional Councilor for South Asia, Fr. Maria Arokiam reflected on the feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, saying that our ‘temples’ are not sanctuaries, and are not maintained well. He pointed out that Jesus chased the traders because they made the temple a den of thieves, and cautioned the principals against making our ‘temples of knowledge’ dens of thieves and lucrative businesses. Our schools will remain/become temples of knowledge when we keep the centrality of God.
He noted that in a school the principal has the fundamental role of Salesian animation. He appreciated their efforts in the schools. He stated that the General Council had decided to keep stressing the GC 27 theme of Gospel radicality, which is returning to the roots.
