Tampa Salesians Celebrate Don Bosco

Tampa Salesians Celebrate Don Bosco


(ANS – Tampa – February 10, 2023)
– On Don Bosco’s feast day, January 31, the Salesian community of Tampa gathered to celebrate the Saint of Youth, reflecting on the 2023 Strenna of the Rector Major. In this year’s call to focus on collaboration between religious and laity, the Tampa Salesians reflected on the Salesian mission and asked how to “be leaven in today’s human family.” The festivities also included the annual Don Bosco Festival, hosted by Mary Help of Christians Parish, during which numerous activities, carnival games, and group dances were organized. Also, Cristo Rey Salesian High School hosted “Don Bosco Day,” a celebration time consisting of games, obstacle courses, tournaments, and a spectacular talent show. Finally, at the Mary Help of Christians Center, the Don Bosco Gala was held, with a closing dinner, games, and dancing. Each event was planned and led by lay members of the Salesian Family with the collaboration of the Salesians.
