The 3rd Parents’ formation for the SY 2022 – 2023 in MHCS last January 29, 2023 was a truly grace-filled opportunity for the parents, guardians, parents volunteer catechists and past pupils to deepen the Strenna for 2023 of the Rector Major, the Head of the Salesian Family in the world.
Thanks to Rev. Fr. Joel N. Camaya, SDB, Rector of Don Bosco College – Canlubang, who came all the way from his place of assignment in Laguna to Pampanga in order to share his thoughts and insights on the Strenna. In Italian, the word strenna means “gift or present.” Each year, the Rector Major comes up with it addressed to the Salesian Family and it guides the Salesian Family’s journey for the year. The 2023 Strenna is aptly directed to the groups who attended Fr. Camaya’s presentation: “As the yeast in today’s human family: The lay dimension in the family of Don Bosco.”
The formation encounter concluded with the Holy Mass, and the parents’ encounter with their children’s class advisers to receive the report cards for the 2nd quarter.
