Soccer tournaments: a way to bring young people closer to God

JUL 31, 2024

For several years we have held a soccer tournament of former students and boarders and boys who have attended our different centers. For greater ease we hold it on Sunday.

It all begins with a solemn Holy Mass in our house in which everyone joyously participates. They are also given the opportunity to go to confession which is available throughout the day. After Mass, they eat a delicious breakfast and then prepare to play soccer. During the tournament, the parents and brothers of the community are always present, as recommended by Saint John Bosco. At the end, they can also spend some time in front of the Blessed Sacrament.

This year about fifty boys participated divided among nine teams, and in the end the winner was the San Antonio team made up of several alumni of our school.
