The Salesian Province of St. Joseph, Hyderabad celebrated the Provincial Community Day, at Don Bosco College, Mothinagar, Hyderabad on 3 March 2018. Around 60 confreres, including the Provincial Councilors and Rectors of Communities were present to solemnize this occasion. The celebration began with a short prayer and a well animated volley ball match. The confreres put in their heart and soul into this moment, playing, participating or just cheering up their respective teams.
This was followed by a solemn high tea and then the confreres gathered together to share about the strengths and weaknesses of the Province and about their vision for the Province. This moment of fraternal sharing in groups was greatly appreciated by all the Salesians present. The Provincial and his council were thanked by the confreres for their service of authority towards the Province. Later on Fr. Provincial expressed words of 
appreciation and thanks to the councillors and all the other confreres for their zeal and hard work in making Don Bosco’s Dream come true in the Province.
This was followed by the solemn Holy Eucharist, for which Fr Provincial was the Main Celebrant. Fr Thottiyil Thomas preaching the Homily, reminded us of the Salesian Family Spirit, an important feature of our spirituality which is slowly dying. He expressed that it is these kind of moments which revive this family spirit among all the confreres. Fr Provincial at the conclusion thanked Fr. Yeruva Joji the Vice Provincial, Fr KK Joseph, the Rector of Don Bosco Mothinagar, Fr V.M. George the Principal of Don Bosco College, Mothinagar and all the community members of Mothinagar for taking care of the arrangements and organizing this important moment. A solemn dinner followed which witnessed more fraternal sharing and family spirit.
