Don Bosco: Friend and Father of the Young

Auxilium Baroda joyfully celebrated the feast of St. John Bosco, lovingly known as the Father and Friend of the Young, with great enthusiasm and reverence. The Pre-Primary, English Medium, and Gujarati Medium sections participated in the celebration, creating vibrant moments filled with joy, learning, and inspiration across the campus.

The programme featured a rich blend of songs, dances, and skits, creatively presented by the students. Through these performances, the children highlighted important moments from Don Bosco’s life and conveyed meaningful messages drawn from his tireless dedication to the young. The presentations beautifully portrayed his deep love for children, his belief in their potential, and his commitment to guiding them with kindness, patience, and discipline.

On various occasions during the celebration, the Sr. Catherine, Sr. Pushpa and Sr. Philomena addressed the students, sharing insights into Don Bosco’s life and mission. They emphasized how Don Bosco rose to greatness through hard work, strong faith, and selfless service, especially towards disadvantaged and neglected youth. His life was presented as a shining example of how compassion, perseverance, and trust in God can transform lives and society.

The students were encouraged to draw inspiration from Don Bosco’s values—love, respect, responsibility, and service—and to follow his path by being caring, honest, and committed individuals. The message resonated strongly that Don Bosco’s way of educating through love and reason remains relevant even today.

The celebration not only honored a great saint but also inspired the young minds of Auxilium to walk in his footsteps and become agents of hope, goodness, and positive change in the world.
