Don Bosco's day in Barakaldo

We stopped the classes at midday the day before Don Bosco's fair. There were some sport competitions (mostly, basketball and football) and other activities like "Sing Star", draughts, chess, cards, etc. Then, the ESO (Gymnasium) attended the special show in the teather, enjoying the performances, humor sketches, dances and songs played by the students. In short, two hours laughing and feeling a wonderful "salesian" atmosphere amongst us, namely, "Sanctity consists. in being cheerful and joyfull always", as Don Bosco said.

On 31 January, the whole ESO (Gimnajzum) and BACHILLERATO (Liceum) attended the Holy Mass at 10:00 a.m. We could pray, sing and remember our father Don Bosco. The celebration focused on the fact of being daring in life. The confidence in our friends, in the people who love us, is also important for achieving our final goals, no matter the difficulties we have to face with; moreover, the confidence in God, through Don Bosco's style. We also sang the Hebrew song "Hebenu shalom alechem" שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם‎ הבאנו , but in an original way, by adding the Polish lyric: Pokój niech będzie z tobą. You should have seen us singing it!! It was a way of being with you, our Polish friends...
