Wish you and dear Viviana the same.
Ariosto, when you say Liceu D. Bosco, in 1960, I am confused. To the best of my memory besides Liceu A de A, there was only the Instituto de Instrucao (Mahtmo) that prepared students for the "treis ciculos".
In the compound of Dom Bosco there was the Lar de Santa Teresinha,
run by Pe. Roque Barreto, in which many students of both the institutions lived.
If that is the case then we were contemporaries.

Could that be the one you refer to?

Hello,
Let me wish you a very happy feast of St. Francis Xavier.
"When the history of the world and of institutions, societies, communities, families and individuals is finally written, the dominant theme will be the degree to which people have lived not by their socialized conscience but by their divine conscience" writes Stephen Covey in 'The 8th Habit' (2004). This holiday and Christmas season is yet another wonderful opportunity for us to focus on our DIVINE CONSCIENCE and consciousness.
A 2005 calendar I received from the Salesians of Don Bosco in Mumbai reminds me that they celebrate 99 YEARS of Salesian presence and activity in India (1906-2005). I, too, would like to thank God for the various sons of St. John Bosco (1815-1888) who have been a part of my life since 1960, when I was led by my parents to Liceu Dom Bosco in Pangim, Goa.
As I look forward to 2006 I would like to thank God for my grand uncle FR. ARIOSTO XAVIER COELHO (1861-1923) who was God's instrument in welcoming the first Salesians to India in 1906, to establish their first orphanage and, eventually, take over the Sacred Heart Parish in Tanjore in 1915. The story of the growth of the Salesians in India over these hundred years is phenomenal and bears witness to lives lived in consonance with the divine conscience.
If you want to read more about this Goan connection, please go to http://www.spiritualdirection.org/Newsletter-Glow04Winter.htm and read the short story entitled TANJORE, THEIR FINAL DESTINATION.
Vivian and I wish you JOY during this season and a new awakening of your divine conscience throughout the New Year. May 2005 fill your body, mind, heart and soul with grace, gratitude, peace and playfulness.
Ariosto Coelho
