The day began with the solemn reception of the relic by the Rector of the Community Rev. Fr. James puthenthara SDB, by paying floral tribute and incensing the sacred relics which is on a 131 nation pilgrimage. The Sun shone bright, the birds chirped and the wind blew in order to celebrate together with the Salesian family gathered in the school premises to honour Don Bosco.
The legendary four voice choir of the Mizo faithful swelled the air to praise God and venerate the educator of youth. They spoke, they danced they sang hymns and they shouted the praises of the saint who is on a pilgrimage to the land of the Mizos.
Rt. Rev. Stephen Rotluanga, CSC, the Bishop of Aizawl was very much the part of the celebration as he joined his faithful in all acts of veneration.
