Dear Friends and Benefactors of Don Bosco’s Mission,
It is with a heart filled with immense gratitude that I thank you for your generous support towards our works of charity for the poor and the marginalized under our care. Your support comes as an assurance that you hold us very dear to your heart. It also assures us that we have your unstinted support in all our works of charity towards the needy and the marginalized. It is your support that helps us give them a sense of hope for their future.
The season of Lent - a very important liturgical season - is upon us. It is a God-given time to help us to contemplate on the main events in the life of Christ: His Passion, Death and His Resurrection. It is also a season during which we are encouraged to think of our less fortunate brethren by extending to them a helping hand. I am sure that this season of Lent will be for each of us a special season during which we will be able to see the Suffering Christ in our suffering brethren.
May your contemplation on the passion of Christ help each member of your family to grow closer to the heart of our suffering Saviour.
Here at our Shrine, you will be present in our prayers and our various Lenten devotions, especially the Way of the Cross.
With deep appreciation and gratitude, I wish you and your dear ones God’s love and peace,
Yours sincerely
Fr. Edwin D'Souza SDB
