Join Us for This Year's Don Bosco Novena

By Ms. Julia St. Clair, Province Communications Director, and Mrs. Amy Stockinger, Program Coordinator, Province Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry

(New Rochelle, NY – January 18) – This year’s Don Bosco Novena begins next Monday, January 22, and will last through Tuesday, January 30. All SDB communities are encouraged to use this resource. They are also invited to consider praying the prayer for General Chapter 29 together after moments of reflection and personal prayer.

Additionally, the theme for this year’s novena on social media will be Don Bosco’s dream of nine years old. A different part of the dream will be shared each day for reflection, along with prayers. Please also visit the province’s social media pages, Salesians of Don Bosco, Canada and Eastern USA (Facebook) and @salesiansue (Instagram), each day starting next Monday for the novena. It will be posted to the stories for both pages and will also be available as a post on Facebook. Additionally, all are encouraged to visit the province office of youth and young adult ministry’s social media pages, Salesian Youth Ministry (Facebook) and @sym_bosco (Instagram). The stories will be reposted and shared there, too.

May God bless you and be with you as we prepare to celebrate our founder’s feast day. Mary Help of Christians, pray for us! St. John Bosco, pray for us!
