A century ago, Italian missionaries from the West came to India and introduced Don Bosco to India. Thanks to their indomitable and profound love for Don Bosco, today we are in a state wherein we are moving out to spread Don Bosco and his works. As part of this outgoing generosity, our latest batch of confreres going overseas to help out in the Italian province of Ligure-Toscano, left for Italy on the 12th of September 2007. Cl. Gali Naresh and Cl. Neelam Ratna, at last succeeded in taking off to take up their new assignment on Italian soil. They will be assigned to a house each in the Italian province of Ligure-Toscano. They form the third group of confreres moving abroad for their practical training and subsequent further studies. Boarding their flight to Florence, in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, they were seen off by the Vice-Provincial, Fr Raminedi Balaraju and quite a few of their dear ones who had come to see them off. Hopefully the joy of having succeeded at last, in spite of and through the many hurdles of securing a visa, would stand in good stead to these young brave confreres as they take on their apostolate in a new place. Accompanying them both, was Cl. Yandava Kalyan who would begin his Theological studies at Croceta, Turin. According to last confirmed reports, they reached their destination, safe and sound the same day. Let us support them with our prayers and wishes as they continue their Salesian mission in a foreign land.
