A New Beginning: Six Novices Formally Enter the Salesian Novitiate

LAWAAN, CEBU (June 22, 2026) — A grace-filled milestone unfolded yesterday at the Shrine of St. John Bosco the Dreamer, Sacred Heart Novitiate of Don Bosco Formation Center, as six young men were canonically admitted to the Salesian Novitiate.

The new novices were formally accepted by Rev. Fr. Amelito Racelis, SDB, Provincial Superior of the Salesians of the Philippines South (FIS) Province. In a deeply meaningful moment of the rite of admission, Fr. Racelis entrusted the group to their new Novice Director, Rev. Fr. Roneldo Vilbar, SDB.

Standing before Fr. Vilbar within the shrine, each novice individually and courageously pronounced their statement of entrustment, marking the official start of this intensive year of spiritual formation and discernment in the footsteps of Don Bosco.

The community capped off the meaningful celebration with a simple dinner, highlighted by a heartfelt song presentation of the Magnificat performed by the new novices—a fitting tribute of praise and gratitude to the Blessed Mother as they begin this sacred chapter.
