The Bosco Month was inaugurated in STI - Salesian Training Institute Nashik by the novices on the evening of 03 January 2021 with the theme ‘#I’myourmodel!’ drawing inspiration from article 21 of the Salesian Constitutions, “Don Bosco our Model.”

The inauguration was animated by the Bosco Sodality. Novice Darryl Cheradil explained the theme ‘#I’myourmodel!’ He said, "it helps us to imagine what Don Bosco would have told us if he were to be here." This was followed by the lighting of the lamp by NoviceMaster-Father Wyman Gonsalves, and others. While explaining the purpose of organizing this Don Bosco Month Father Gonsalves added, “it is very important for every Salesian to know about Don Bosco and so by dedicating this month to Don Bosco we hope to get to know Don Bosco in a deeper sense and increase our fidelity to him.” The inaugural ceremony concluded with the Salesian Anthem.
