John Bosco
Date: January 31, 2020
Venue: Fr. William Balocco Gymnasium
Celebrant: Rev. Fr. Alfred Buyao
Theme: Make an Impact
Introductory Rite
This year’s theme Make an Impact, we give the young a chance “to be an impact”. Reflecting on
this year’s celebration’s theme, we realize that St. John Bosco’s mission is primarily for the
young people. He loved the young so much that he devoted his life for them. Don Bosco, even
during his time, had given the young a chance to discover himself, to bring out the best in him so
that others may be touched by God’s grace thru them. This is the very mission of the Father and
Teacher of youth. There is no denying that we truly are his sons and daughters. And we must
believe that we all are in his ‘dream at nine.’ We have been a part of this plan of God through St.
John Bosco.
As we come together and celebrate once more St. John Bosco, he is challenging us to stand up,
‘be an impact,’ ‘make the change’ that we are all hoping for, thus give Him, our God, glory. We
are here because you have been touched by Don Bosco. We are here because we have been
blessed.
Let us now reflect on the song ‘Oratorio,’ describing how we, sons and daughters of Don Bosco
were called to be part of his family long before we were born.
(dance-Oratorio by DBYC)
We now ask the intercession of St. John Bosco. All together: (prayer to SJB)

we be the first role models of charity and love to them, our kids, that in our ordinary daily lives

the Lord…
3. (Teacher)For all educators: as a major influencer of the young, may the teachings and
formation we have be mirrored and make an impact in the eyes of each of the child under our

we convey the message of “Serving the Lord with Holy Joy!”Let us pray to the Lord…
