The youth of Don Bosco Youth Services, Mumbai, organised a programme “An Evening with Mary” on 28 May 2022 at Don Bosco, Matunga. Around 22 youth along with Salesian Priests, Brothers and Sisters participated in this programme.

The event began with a Rosary Service at the Grotto of Our Blessed Mother behind the Shrine of Don Bosco’s Madonna. The Holy Rosary was followed by a programme of fun and relaxation organised by the youth in the Youth Room of Don Bosco Youth Services (DBYS). Savio Aguiar organised the games and Leann, along with other youth, co-ordinated the music and dance. The evening was further enhanced by the youth playing the cello, the violin and the guitar.

During the celebrations in honour of Our Lady, Fr Leon Cruz broke the good news that Leander Pereira, one of the active DBYS youth, was planning to join the Salesians and would be going the Pre-novitiate. Fr Savio Silveira, the Provincial of the Salesian Province of Mumbai, concluded the “Evening with Mary” with the traditional Goodnight Talk for the youth.
