There's the 150th....and then there's the 128th, Ulaanbaatar style!
ULAANBAATAR: 17th May 2009 -- The celebrations for the Solemnity (for the FMA) of St Mary Domenica Mazzarello were quite special this year in Mongolia, given the relatively recent arrival of the Sisters there. The four parishes (3 in the capital and Mary Help of Christians Parish, Darkhan, 200 km further north) remembered to pray for all FMA in five continents.
The young people associated with the Sisters showed interest in studying the life story of the Saint through leaflets and presentations (ppt) and joined in willingly with story-telling and quiz competitions. Even the kids from St Dominic Savio Community Amgalang went home with lots of prizes.
What made it more memorable was the all-out involvement, support and animation from the four Mongolian Salesian Cooperators.
The Strenna too for this year is gradually and slowly being materialized in Mongolia
