‘Raise Your Voices’ in honour of the Saint of Youth
Singing Competition was yet another activity organized by Don Bosco Animation Centre on 18th February to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of its existence (1987-2012). Twenty five years back the Salesians (Frs. Tomas Fernandes & Fr Egidio Fernandes) set foot in the ancestral home of Mr Julio Furtado who invited the Salesians to work in Benaulim.
The Singing Competition exhibited a high level of musical talent among the young. The groups raised their voices in praise of the ‘Father and Teacher of the young’ through hymns and songs dedicated to this beloved saint of youngsters. St Pius X High School bagged the first place while St Anthony’s High School, Majorda was declared runners-up, closely followed by Our Lady of Lourdes School, Utorda. In his message to the students, Fr Anisio Mota, the Chief Guest, spoke about the great passion and zeal of Don Bosco for children. He also encouraged the students to develop their talents and use it for the service of humanity.
