The group walked back across the beautifully redesigned courtyard of the College, called the Amann Courtyard, after Bro. There were some moving prayers uttered by young and old. The Mass concluded with a walk to the Salesian cemetery where all present were asked to say a prayer for one or more of the deceased Salesians who had impacted on their lives. He asked that all "put on Christ" in difficult times, as Don Bosco asked, especially as followers of Christ the Good Shepherd, caring for those most in need. Fr Moloney spoke of St Francis of Assissi's life-long attempt to "put on Christ", remarking that a stigmata indicates a total assimilation of the life-style of Jesus, concluded by the Cross and Resurrection. More than 60 Salesians were present for the concelebrated Mass in the College Chapel where many Salesians made their first vows, and where some were ordained to the Priesthood. This year the Salesians celebrated in a special way by returning to their roots, the 'mother house' at 'Rupertswood', Victoria, Australia. The day had been declared 'Province Day' and coincided happily with the feast of St Francis of Assissi, the name day of the Provincial, Fr Francis Moloney. It was on Saturday 4th October that he concluded his final retreat to some 40 Salesians. He has reached out, too, to confreres in Samoa and Fiji.
