Thailand – 2025 Salesian Vocation Camp "Pilgrimage with Young People, Anchored in Hope"
Hua Hin, Thailand – March 2025 – From March 17 to 22, the Youth Ministry Commission of Thailand organized the annual vocation camp at the Don Bosco Youth Center in Khao Takieb, Hua Hin, under the theme "Pilgrimage with Young People, Anchored in Hope."
A total of 89 young Catholics from different regions of the country participated under the guidance of Fr. Noppadol Joseph. The 30 support groups, consisting of Salesians, cooperators, former students, and aspirants in formation, acted as the organizing committee for various camp activities.
Now in its 54th year since its inception in 1971, the initiative aims to guide participants in discovering their vocation, learning about Don Bosco and his spirit, and making the most of their vacation time. Throughout the camp, the young attendees received formation on various topics and actively participated in liturgical celebrations, including Mass and the sacraments.
As part of the program, the campers made a pilgrimage to the cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Ratchaburi in honor of the Holy Year. At the conclusion of the experience, nine young participants applied to join the Salesian aspirantate.
