The sessions began with a meaningful opening prayer with the enthronement of the word of God and reading both from the Word of God and the Salesian Constitutions. A beautiful Kannada song composed and presented by Rev. Fr. Jude Anand SDB on the theme of the Provincial Chapter was much appreciated by the members. After the reading of the minutes of the previous day and the roll call, the members proceeded into the presentation of the various themes of the working Document. These presentations and the discussions that ensued proved to be truly insightful and presented a truly prophetic face of the province. The dicussions which panned through the day continued till late in the evening. Fr. Augusty SDB addressed the members of the chapter during the good night highlighting the progress, challenges and the way forward in the Salesian mission in Nepal.
