The Salesian family gathered for prayer and a buffet on Don Bosco's feastday. There were over forty involved from the youth network including cooperators, BOVA, Signposts, both our parishes, members of the chaplaincy group and staff from the schools. Fr Gerry led a service using a song from 'school of rock' to emphasise the need that young people have for a good listening to from caring adults.

We were also celebrating our first anniversary as a Salesian community on Surrey lane. Please keep us in our prayers as we launch into a new year!
