Don Bosco at Kurnool

Kadapa Queues up to pay Homage to Don Bosco

In Kadapa everyone wanted Don Bosco to bless their home, street and Church... and so did Don Bosco! Rather than go straight to the Salesian house, the casket made brief halts at three Parishes and turned around every street of the city! Such was the zeal and fervour of the people for whom St Antony's Industrial Institute (run by the Salesians) has been more than just a landmark in the centre of the town. Fr Raminedi Balaraju, the Provincial, and himself a past-pupil of St Antony's, Kadapa presided over the Holy Eucharist and preached on the great deeds wrought about by the powerful intercession of Don Bosco.
