The St. John Bosco High School community comes together today to celebrate the Feast of Don Bosco with our Auxiliary Bishop Marc Trudeau and to honor the influence of our Salesian patron<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Bellflower, California)<\/strong> – Our school Mass celebrating the Feast of Don Bosco takes place in the neighboring St. Dominic Savio Church. This is a very special day honoring the life and achievements of St. John Bosco, who is the basis of our school community\u2019s principles and values. What makes this day truly special is the coming of our Auxiliary Bishop Marc Trudeau, who comes to observe our celebration and pray with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Campus Ministry students organized the Feast Day Mass along with the new religion teacher, Mr. James Ritter. Mr. Ritter, an alumnus of Bosco, worked well with the members of Campus Ministry to put on this celebration for us and our bishop. They spent much time and effort preparing the readings and the church for the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis will certainly be one special Mass,\u201d said Mr. Ritter. \u201cIt\u2019s not every day you get to pray and worship with the bishop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campus Ministry has been preparing for this day since the end of last semester because the Feast of Don Bosco is not only an important event for us but also an important event for Salesians the world over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery aspect, from the beginning to the end of the Mass, is carefully accounted for, and we\u2019ve been working diligently behind the scenes to make it as special as possible,\u201d said Campus Ministry junior Diego Salcedo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very special occasion warranted much preparation, with most of the time spent choosing the perfect music and demonstrating attention to detail to do this event and the bishop justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Feast of Don Bosco is crucial to the Salesians because he initiated the entire movement,\u201d said Diego. \u201cIt\u2019s a time when not only our community but all Salesian communities come together, sharing a common identity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

In the absence of Archbishop Jose Gomez, who is unable to attend today, Auxiliary Bishop Trudeau visits us. Both men have done amazing things for our community while being excellent examples of leaders in the Catholic church and standard-bearers of Don Bosco\u2019s legacy. They both spread messages of love and teach the principles of Christ, which is why we admire them and appreciate their presence in our school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been meeting with our Campus Ministry [team], Fr. Mike [Gergen], and we were given guidance by the archdiocese for preparing for today. It\u2019s safe to say that there will be some expected surprises for our bishop,\u201d said Mr. Ritter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big reason why we celebrate the Feast of Don Bosco is because we want to keep his teachings and the Salesian traditions alive. A feast day is when we remember a person of great significance. For Don Bosco, a big part of what he was known for was helping young boys become mature, responsible, and faithful men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most special part of the day, in my opinion, is the awareness that thousands of people worldwide are celebrating the same occasion, creating a sense of unity,\u201d said Diego. \u201cFor our community, it\u2019s a time to gather as a school and celebrate our shared mission and ideals inspired by St. John Bosco.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After mass and classes, students will celebrate \u201cfield day\u201d activities this afternoon to conclude the day of celebration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
