“The establishment of Father Bosco’s Youth Center” on the feast day of the Immaculate Conception

1–2 minutes

Today, we came together to honor Our Lady in a meaningful and joyful way.

The evening began with a solemn Mass and a beautiful procession of the Virgin, illuminated by lanterns and lights, filling our hearts with peace and gratitude.

Afterward, we shared a warm and delicious dinner with all the students, a moment of togetherness and community.

The celebration ended with a vibrant Cambodian cultural night, featuring traditional music and dances that showcased the beauty of this land’s heritage.

“The establishment of Father Bosco’s Youth Center marks the beginning of Father Bosco’s mission (the day he met the first boy named Bartholomew Garelli). It was this boy who brought many of his friends to meet Father Bosco. Father Bosco then gathered them together and established the first youth center. It began with simple faith education, specifically teaching the catechism of Our Lady.”
