Montréal: Provincial Visit to the DBLM

By Fr. Luc Lantagne, SDB

(Montréal, QC – March 13) – Earlier this month, Provincial Fr. Dominic Tran, SDB, visited the Salesian presence in Montréal. The Don Bosco Latino Ministry (DBLM) joyfully received Fr. Dominic, who entertained us as both a superior and card magician, which left our young people with a fresh breath of Salesianity.

The DBLM offers the youth and their parents varied comprehensive formation programs, generating a passionate knowledge of Don Bosco and living genuine Salesian spirituality.

Young people from ages seven to 35 participate in the programs, which are conducted in small groups and thereby foster appropriate social interaction according to our Salesian pedagogy. Parents reinforce the topics discussed in the programs with their children, who have previously been introduced to these topics by trained animators, adult couples, and an SDB. Moments of formation, spirituality, fun, and service occur, according to Don Bosco's Salesian Project: home, school, parish, and playground. The fruits of this Salesian model are visible.

Thank you, Fr. Dominic, for the pastoral impulse that your visit has inspired. DBLM is proud to belong to the Salesian Family.
