The Don Bosco Youth Camp in Gawler has been an exciting success for six years now, in no small part thanks to our fantastic and enthusiastic leaders.
I have always enjoyed our annual camp and loved seeing my friends there for a hectic few days. However, given it was only for a short time it began to leave me without a place to share the Salesian spirit very often.
OzBosco will go ahead in 2020, albeit in a completely different format! Restrictions placed on gatherings of people in light of COVID-19 quickly made it clear that it would be impossible to host in its traditional format.
In light of the ongoing Global situation that limits travel, the Salesian Youth Movement of Europe and the Middle East have come up with a novel way that will provide spiritual enrichment to young people around the globe.
The Australian summer forever seems to be a point of conversation – drought, scorching heat, a break from school that only gets longer as you progress through to senior years of schooling, and for Young Salesians – weeks of anticipation for the camps to begin.
The Don Bosco Feast Day Festival is quickly becoming one of the best days on Melbourne’s Salesian Calendar! Taking place on Sunday the 9th of February (just over a week over Don Bosco’s actual feast day, the 31st) it was a day full of all things great about being Salesian; fun, food, friends and family!
