The Nativity of Mother Mary (Sept. 8, 2011), the dear beloved Mother of Don Bosco, was the day Don Bosco chose to be at the Church of Christ the King, Ramanthapur. This day saw the solemn march and procession of Don Bosco`s children, to Christ the King church with his sacred relics. At 10.30 am a colourful welcome amidst music in the form of band by the students of Navajeevan and floral welcome by the residents of the parish and other collaborators belonging to the centre, marked the occasion.
After the initial welcome, the Parish Priest Fr David Francis, garlanded the relic, followed by the Holy Eucharist during which the Provincial Rev. Fr Balaraju welcomed the faithful and spoke to them about the sacredness of the visit of the relic. There was an array of dignitaries who came to pay their respects to this saint, the friend and teacher of the youth.
People poured-in in great numbers to pay homage to this great saint. At 2.30 pm the relic visited a near-by parish namely the Holy Spirit parish, a simple prayer service was conducted. It was really a very surprising thing to see the amount of love the old and young have for Don Bosco.

The streets come alive at Ramanthapur

It was very spontaneous and well orchestrated. The casket of Don Bosco was taken in procession from the main road to Navajeevan accompanied by the Navajeevan Band and the boys shouting slogans.
What was very striking in the whole procession was the spontaneity with which the Navajeevan children gathered around their father who meant so much to them. Even the skies could not hold their joy as they began to shower their blessings on everybody. Read more...

Young at Risk welcome DB, their father and friend
The children were overjoyed and shouted in glee. The little ones grew enthusiastic as Don Bosco`s relics were lowered from the wagon right in the
middle of the colony, with the townsfolk watching with curiosity and devotion. The devotees of Sri Ganesha, led by the colony president, accompanied us as moved in a simple procession passing the Ganesha pandal.
Our children, for many of whom Don Bosco is their only father and mother, wanted to be near Don Bosco by all means. The local parish youth were present in strength. The Youth for Christ animated a programme for the boys. Salesian sisters and other groups of religious also participated. ... Read more
