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.
