Syria – Salesians in Aleppo “Our Voice Heard the World All Over”

(ANS – Aleppo) – Fr. Pier Jabloyan, Vicar of the Salesian house in Aleppo, recounted how they lived in the oratory of Aleppo the witness delivered at WYD 2016 by their animator Rand Mittri. “While Rand was speaking to the Pope, we all felt that our voice was being heard all over the world”.

Rand Mittri is an animator of the oratory of Aleppo. She is one of the 21 youth who left from the Middle East to participate in WYD 2016, accompanied by Fr. Simon Zakerian, Rector of the Salesians in Damascus.

The joy of hearing a young lady of the oratory who just speaks of the oratory and of Don Bosco and of the experience lived by the people in Aleppo is moving and beautiful.

Here people continue to say: We are proud of Don Bosco’s sons. You made our pain heard all over the world.

Rand also managed to have Pope Francis sign a photograph of the children and youth of the oratory. This signature is a gift of the Pope to the Salesian oratory of Aleppo.
