World Premiere of Rector Major's 2021 Strenna

 World Premiere of Rector Major’s 2021 Strenna

(ANS – Rome – December 21, 2020) – The first world screening of the Rector Major’s 2021 Strenna will take place on December 26; its theme, “Moved by hope: See, I am making all things new (Rev 21:5).” The event is an exceptional novelty, even as it respects traditional canons.

The program of activities foresees, first of all, the meeting of the Rector Major with the Mother General of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and a small group of sisters at the FMA Generalate at 4:00 p.m., Italian time. Fr. Angel Fernandez will present a preview of the strenna’s contents; according to a long tradition, the Salesian Rector Major as father and center of unity of the Salesian Family first delivers the strenna message for the new year to the FMAs.

Subsequently, at 6:00 p.m. (UTC + 1) – and here is the real novelty – the worldwide screening of the strenna video will take place – a screening that will be livestreamed on the ANS Facebook page, with simultaneous comments in five languages, and which will make it possible immediately to share the perspective indicated by Fr. Fernandez to all today’s followers and admirers of Don Bosco throughout the Salesian world.

Finally, immediately after the video screening – still livestreamed – the Rector Major will make himself available for an interview wherein users from home will also be able to participate by posing questions, and will thus deepen the themes and salient contents of the strenna.
