This week has been busy for Father John with celebrations in Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh with a Bishop in the schedule.August 2 is his birthday and a very especial one: his 75th August and a heart of youth and commitment worthy of Don Bosco.
Last Friday the Don Bosco Technical School community of Sihanoukville, the place where he is currently the rector, dedicated songs and gifts to Father John. He got a new phone model, a little small for his big fingers, but he was happy the same with the appreciation shown by his sons and daugthers at the place.
Saturday the Salesian communities of Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh gathered in Don Bosco PP for the retreat with the preach of the Salesian Bishop Prathan on Lectio Divina. Mgrs. Prathan was invited by Father John and he accepted willingly, with all the affection he has for Cambodia. At the end of the retreat the Salesians song again a Happy Birthday to you for this 75 years old missionary, younger than ever.
