Being Demolished
The Salesians closed Don Bosco Tech in Paterson, N.J., at the end of the 2001-2002 school year, after 54 years of service to disadvantaged young men (and some who were not disadvantaged) from all over northern New Jersey. Your humble blogger was principal there in 1980-1984 and was assigned to the SDB community there (but not the school as such) in 1999-2002. A great many SDBs served there over the years, winning the hearts--and, we hope, the souls of thousands of young men and their families, and cherishing their service there.
DBT erected a new shop building in the early 1950s. The Rector Major, Fr. Renato Ziggiotti, blessed it during his visit to the province in 1955. Photo by Fr. Mike, June 2000. |
