On Friday, 31st of January 2025, the entire community of “Cité des Jeunes Don Bosco Buterere” celebrated the solemnity of Saint John Bosco. All the young people from the VTC, Secondary school, Mobile Primary and Junior secondary school, and many from the parish and Oratory gathered together with the salesians, the staff, and other members of the salesian family to enjoy the great day of their Father, Friend, and Teacher Don Bosco.
The Holy Eucharist, different games, cultural entertainments, and sharing of meals marked the day.
During the Holy Mass, which took place in the shrine of Mary Help of Christians which is located in the same compound, Father Raymond Bavumiragiye rector of the community, reminded the congregation, especially the young people, that for them to be good christians and upright citizens, they must learn from Don Bosco, a God-fearing and hard working person, who was born in a family of a humble background, but later made tremendous changes in the lives of the young people and the mission of the Church.
He therefore invited them to pray, work, and love as Don Bosco did, since love is the source of true joy and happiness, a sure way to holiness.
