Quoting Philip on spending time with ASC Australia, “I am very happy and thankful that I had the privilege to accompany the group yesterday… feels like the first green grass Noah got on the  Ark! I can “see” Don Bosco in their hearts and the fire (Holy Sprite) burning.”

In his talk, Philip reiterated the Formation Guidelines, specifically referring to “personal” vocation becomes the so called Salesiain dimension when a person choose to follow Don Bosco. The formation program is prepared and organized by Salesian Cooperators couple Carlos and Carmen Escobar together with SDB and FMA Delegates. #
