Jhoni Chamorro, SDB<\/h3>\n<p>(Camp St. Francis, CA) &#8211; Two months ago, I flew from New Jersey knowing that I\u00a0was making a complete transition back to my province. \u00a0My Provincial assigned me to the community of Richmond so that I could finish my undergraduate degree\u00a0at St Mary\u2019s University in Moraga.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t express how\u00a0full of gratitude my heart is for the 3 years I spent in\u00a0the East Coast as part of the post-novitiate program. My\u00a0sentiments of gratitude are first and foremost to Fr. Steve\u00a0Shafran and all the Salesians in the East for hosting me\u00a0these past years. This experience has allowed me to have\u00a0a broader view of the Salesian works throughout the U.S.\u00a0and thereby enriching my sense of Salesianity. I\u2019ll never forget the first school that I visited and until\u00a0now my heart remains at Don Bosco Cristo Rey in Washington D.C. \u00a0A special thanks goes out to each and everyone of the Salesians who always welcomed me to their\u00a0own sites and made me feel at home. I believe that it\u2019s\u00a0never too late to say thank you, and what better gesture,\u00a0even if I\u2019m far away, to use this format of media to send\u00a0my words of gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I came back to California, I started helping\u00a0Bro. Al and the Youth Ministry office with some preparations for the Salesian Youth Leadership Conference\u00a0Spirit Team retreat and SYLC week itself. I have to mention that this year\u2019s SYLC was fantastic!<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday,\u00a0June 25, at the end of SYLC, Bro. Benito and I renewed\u00a0our profession in front of the SYLC participants. Our\u00a0hearts were full of Don Bosco\u2019s spirit and we were happy that these leaders from different sites throughout the\u00a0province witnessed our \u201cyes\u201d to God; reminding them\u00a0that our lives until our last breath like Don Bosco is for\u00a0their salvation.\u00a0I am full of joy and ready to give my best and make my\u00a0commitment true during this summer program here at the\u00a0Salesian Boys and Girls Club in Richmond. There are\u00a0so many kids who are now alumni who are so excited\u00a0to come back and work together giving the best summer\u00a0ever to the kids who are part of our program. I pray that\u00a0all our Salesian Camps have an awesome 4th of July and\u00a0a great Summer.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bro.
