First Salesians to set foot Sa Kabukiran


Salesians Sa Kabukiran

It was November 7, 2016. Salesians spent a day Sa Kabukiran. It was a historic first as they were the first Salesians to step inside Sa Kabukiran. They were Salesians from Tarlac who wanted to have some time for themselves, to think and reflect and evaluate the past semester. Sa Kabukiran was the perfect place for that. The trip to Sa Kabukiran was organized and sponsored by Mike Carlos who has been a very good friend and promoter of Sa Kabukiran. He invited Fr. Joey Paras SDB to come to Kabukiran and spend a day there with his confreres.
Their stay at Sa Kabukiran included a talk from me regarding the Laity in the New Evangelization. This also included a time for them in the afternoon to assess and evaluate their institution for the past semester.

At the end of the day, the salesians had a quick tour of the farm, culminating in picture taking with Mt. Arayat at the backdrop. This visit was indeed a blessing Sa Kabukiran. I think they liked the place. So they’re planning to have a day once more here with two other Salesian institutions in the north, namely, Don Bosco Mabalacat and Don Bosco San Jose, Nueva Ecija.

Two of the Salesians were my contemporary, who were a little older than I was – Fr. Joey and Bro. Nick. The rest were young Salesians who happened to know my songs way back when they were still in high school and continue to sing my songs in Don Bosco. Really happy to hear that from them. I will be awaiting their return in Kabukiran before Christmas sometime in December when the Salesian Solid North will come once more to bless this beautiful place.
