His Holiness Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church, passed away on the morning of Monday, April 21, at the age of 88, according to an official statement from the Vatican.

Pope Francis’s health had been severely deteriorating for several months due to a serious lung illness, along with undergoing multiple surgeries.

Before his passing, he wrote the foreword to a book being compiled by Don Tommaso Giannuzzi, titled β€œThe Prophet of Hope.” In it, the Pope wrote that hope always opens a window to provide clarity for the Christian faithful throughout the ages.

He also emphasized that grace is the source that allows every man and woman not to overstep the bounds of humanity, while hope is life itself. Hope lives on, giving meaning to the journey in search of purpose, and inspiring the essence of humanity’s priorities.

Don Bosco Cambodia deeply mourns the sad news of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.

He was a great spiritual leader who brought hope, peace, and love to the world. May the memory of his love and inspiration continue to shine through future generations. His life and mission will forever remain in our hearts.

We pray that the Lord grants his pure soul eternal peace.

Don Bosco Preventive Education System: Don Bosco Educational Perspectives and Patterns

Don Bosco’s vision of education and protection created an educational approach based on religion and love. He believes that educating young people should not rely on force or coercion but should focus on forming bonds through love and goodness.

Don Bosco’s position on education has three main points:

β€’ Diligence: Striving to learn and work hard.

β€’ Faith: Having faith in God and living a good life.

β€’ Enjoyment: Living with joy and finding happiness in daily life.

His educational approach aims to shape young people with three key characteristics:

β€’ Knowledge: A solid foundation in all fields.

β€’ Skills: Practical abilities that help in future life.

β€’ Virtue: Morality and respect within society.

Don Bosco said: β€œAsk for any other spirit.” This means he did not seek wealth or personal gain; his only desire was for young people to live good lives and keep their faith in God.

He once told the young: β€œI’m waiting for my children in heaven.” This reflects his wish for them to live with goodness and ultimately find happiness in God.

He firmly believed: β€œGod is with you at all times, or God sees you at all times.” This powerful message encourages young people to always do good.

Mr. Namuncura Ceferino was born on August 26, 1886, and he died when he was 18 years old, on May 11, 1905. He was a young Argentinean of indigenous Mapuche origin, the son of Mr. Namuncura Manuel, a Salesian disciple, and he was declared Blessed by the Catholic Church.

One of those Salesians was able to win the heart of Mr. Namuncura Manuel to make peace with the Argentine government after much pain, persecution and discrimination. Mr. Namuncura Manuel accepted and met the President of Argentina, who gave him the honorary title of β€œGeneral”, which gave him the opportunity to send his children to school. His youngest son was baptized by the same Salesians under the name of Mr. Namuncura Ceferino, and the boy was very happy to study. He was sent to study in Buenos Aires.

Ceferino NamuncurΓ‘

He was buried the day after his death in the cemetery of the Green Camp community, in the presence of some Salesians and students under the protection of a cross bearing his name. In 1924, the remains of Namuncura Ceferinu were repatriated by order of Argentine President Marcelo Tiday Alvear and brought to the rebuilt church of the old town of FutΓ­n Mercedes, located opposite the neighboring town of Pedro LΓ³pez.

On July 7, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI signed a decree declaring Namuncura Ceferinu blessed, a step that the Catholic Church takes before naming a deceased Catholic as a saint. On November 11, 2007, the papal legate announced that Namuncura Ceferinu blessed more than 100,000 people at a beatification ceremony in Champay, Tonle Sap province, the young Salesian’s hometown, whose feast day is set for August 26, his birthday.

Salesian Sisters’ Mission Expansion: Reaching Mondolkiri

It has been a long-time dream to expand our mission to new horizons. We have been in the city of Phnom Penh since 1992, where we currently have four communities, and in Battambang Province since 2002, with one community. After years of prayerful discernment, the time has finally comewe are now in Mondulkiri!

Mondolkiri, literally means β€œCenter of Mountains” was part of Kratie province. In 1960 King Norodom Sihanouk made it into a province with Senmonorom as the capital as of today. During the Vietnam war, this Vietnamese border was used as the base for bombings by US forces. In 1970s, the Khmer Rouge regime forced the population to relocate to Koh Nhek district, where they suffered force labor in rice farming and many lives were lost. Schools, hospitals and even entire villages were completely destroyed. Today, with good roads, life is slowly returning back.

Mondolkiri is located in the north-east of Cambodia with the bordering provinces of Kratie, Stung Treng, Ratanakiri and the country of Vietnam to the east and south. Mondulkiri is sparsely populated despite being the largest in land area in the country. The Bunong Tribe are a majority of people habiting. The land is rich in natural resources of forests, rich fertile land, beautiful scenery of waterfalls and hills, etc… In this beautiful land, the Salesian Sisters arrived on October 7, 2024, with the desire to work among the young people of the Bunong Tribe.

Our two sisters and a lay Cambodian teacher live in a rented house in Pouv Long village. They began their mission with a small oratory (after-school activities) in their rented house, providing an environment where the young feel loved, cared for, valued, and understood. The sisters and the lay collaborator taught them to play and enjoy learning English, values education, songs, and hygiene. Free tutorial lessons in Khmer and

The sisters, with the help of a lay collaborator, began caring for a group of tribal Catholic high school girls in a boarding house in Senmonorom city that belongs to the Church. They actively participate in the local church, Sunday liturgies, liturgical season celebrations, and activities of the Prefecture of Kampong Cham.

Once the sisters settled in and have organized themselves well as a community, they dream of collaborating more closely with the Church by assisting in catechesis and the formation of Kindergarten teachers for the schools run by the Parishes, establishing a school where tribal children, young people, and families can freely access education according to our charism, as well as providing Christian and human formation. Additionally, we strengthen our presence among the young women in the boarding house.

As the song goes, β€˜There are infinite possibilities in little beginnings,’ we hope to be bearers of hope for the poor as our dream unfolds and is realized little by little, staying attuned to what the Lord wants. Starting in small, humble ways, yet with much courage to move forward. As Don Bosco said, β€œWith Mary, nothing is impossible.”

Message of the Holy Father to the Participants of the 29th General Chapter of the Salesian Congregation

Dear brothers,

Since I am unfortunately unable to meet you, I send this message on the occasion of the 29th General Chapter of the Salesian Congregation, as well as the 150th anniversary of Don Bosco’s first missionary expedition to Argentina.

I greet the new Rector Major, Fr. Fabio Attard, wishing him fruitful work, and I thank Cardinal Ángel FernÑndez Artime for the service he has rendered to the Institute over these years and now offers to the universal Church.

Even from a distance, I wish to encourage you to live this time of listening to the Spirit and synodal discernment with confidence and commitment.

You have chosen, as the theme for your work, the motto: β€œSalesians passionate about Jesus Christ and dedicated to young people”. It is a beautiful program: to be β€œpassionate” and β€œdedicated,” to allow yourselves to be fully embraced by the love of the Lord and to serve others without holding anything back, just as your Founder did in his time. While the challenges you face today are partly different from those of the past, the faith and enthusiasm remain the same, enriched by new gifts such as interculturality.

Dear brothers, I thank you for the good you do throughout the world and encourage you to continue with perseverance.

I heartily bless you and your capitular work, as well as your confreres scattered across the five continents, and I kindly ask you to pray for me. May Mary Help of Christians always accompany you.

From the Vatican, April 2, 2025

CIAO Verifica Triennale 2025 Experience

My name is Siar Sila and I was selected as the youth representative of Cambodia and Burma to participate in the three-year evaluation meeting on the theme β€œA journey of Hope and Renewal” of the CIAO (Asia) region with 9 participating countries of the Salesian Sisters in the Philippines for a week. It was an opportunity to gain new experiences and knowledge from the people around me and to better understand the mission of the Sisters to young people. Although we are from different countries, we have one thing in common: the Salesian way of life. There we met to reflect and understand that as Salesian educators, we must find what makes young people gain knowledge, virtue and progress in their lives. The week at the meeting made me interested in many things such asrelationships, faith, activities, the recommendations of the Mother Superior, the way of life of the Salesian Family and the mission of the Salesian Sisters to young people. Let me share some points that interest me:

1: Communication

We are from different countries and speak different languages, but these differences do not prevent us from communicating, on the contrary, they make us find ways to deal with how we should act when our languages are different. In the meeting, we used two languages: English for the lay representatives and the youth, and Italian for the sisters. Although we use two different languages, we also have the help of AI Translator for translation. As for language, it does not make us lose our friendship or communication. On the contrary, we also learned each other’s languages. Through learning from each other,

2: The recommendation of the elder mother

I was interested in the recommendation of the elder mother on the 2nd day, as she spoke about the Salaisian educational community, especially the presence of educators to the youth. Educators play an important role in the lives of the youth because the presence of the sisters, teachers, is like a mother, father, and brother. Today, most young people are facing depression due to many factors such as broken families, poor families, lack of love, and sometimes need someone to give them strength, but there is no one to encourage them. Because of these factors, many young people have gone the wrong way, committed anti-social acts, and sometimes have no goals in life.

For all these reasons, the presence of sisters, teachers, is special for the youth because they always give advice, love, and are there to encourage the youth in both good and bad times, care about the youth, and always ask what our goals are in life. Because of these activities, many young people have achieved success in their lives and always appreciate this good spirit. Finally, I am truly grateful to the sisters for choosing me to represent the youth and for giving me many experiences in life. I also want to share it with the people around me, and it also makes me understand more clearly the mission of the Salesian Sisters to the youth. As a young person, I am deeply grateful for the presence of the sisters, teachers, who are always there, encouraging and giving warm love. The presence of the sisters, teachers, is very important in the lives of young people.

On January 31, 2025, Don Bosco School, Teuk Thla, and Don Bosco Phum Chres jointly celebrated Don Bosco Sports Day in memory of Saint John Bosco, the founder of the Salesian Family. Don Bosco was deeply committed to the education and well-being of poor youth. Don Bosco believed in the holistic development of young people, not only intellectual and spiritual, but also physical and social development.

Don Bosco Sports Day is a big and important event in Don Bosco schools all over the world, which is celebrated under the guise of various sports competitions such as football, volleyball, basketball, handball, boules, shot put, sprint, marathon, high jump, long jump, sack race, tug of war, ping pong, badminton and some other games for students who are not participating in the competition. However, all these competitions are not for the sake of winning or losing. The main objectives of this special day are:

Sports teach valuable life skills, such as, although there is competition for trophies and medals, it is also an opportunity for teamwork, respect and discipline, as well as struggle and hardship. It helps strengthen the sense of community in the school, promoting unity, cooperation and school pride. At the same time, sports competitions are a way for students to practice sportsmanship, learn how to win with grace and lose with dignity.

How is it to be a volunteer in the Don Bosco technical Hartrans School Kep? This question is so maany things at once. For one point it is a big question, with a lot of answers which are easy and complicated at the same time. Therefore I want to start with the basics, what do I do at Don Bosco?

Since August 2024, I assist at the Brother Sun children program where I join the brother sun children in their everyday life, study computer and English with them in the morning play sports and board games with them in the afternoon and support them with their homework in the evening or watch movies with the children on the weekend. Three times a Week I also spend time in the media Communication department of the technical school where I assist in the English classes so the students can improve their English.

Spending time with them has influenced my perspective on the word and fills me with so mutch joy and gratitude for the possibility to be here. Their thoughts and worries amaze me because they are so alike my own worries at that age and at the same time so different due to the fact that I grew up in a more privileged country with other opportunities. They widen my perspectives on society and globalization without even trying but by exchanging thoughts and experiences. For me this is one of the key elements of volunteering. You are not only a support for the staff but also a person who is learning herself. The moments with the children have become real treasures to me as well as the moments with the students of the technical school.

Furthermore, the working atmosphere in the Don Bosco School is really inspiring. The majority of priests, Sisters, brothers, teachers and volunteers I meet put so much time, thoughts, energy an heart in their work that the atmosphere in the school resembles more a big family. This does not mean that there are never problems or that averting is perfect but that is not the case in a real family either. Being a part of the Don Bosco Family means to try the best and be open to improving.
