When I was working for the youth in other places, some of them needed to be watched closely. The preventive system, a system of working with youth developed by Mama Margaret and learned by Don Bosco, was quickly learned and applied. But things are quite different, in a most positive way at Salesian High School. The preventive system is still used, but the youth there are so good, and i mean GOOD. there I am able to accompany the guys there more, Lead them closer to God. Really, I've been taught a lot about God there by those same kids that I am sent to teach and be with.
The other guys at the Formation house know that my week isn't complete until Friday when i head to the Oratory. The community at the school really bring out the best in all their students, and it shows, their behavior is amazing, they look out for themselves and others both bodily and spiritually. It gets me thinking, these students are holy, they make me want to be come a better man, closer to God so that i can accompany them along their path.
Many of the young men from the oratory are in another group called the Friends of Savio. I helped them on their trip to NYC and was blown away on the reverence they had when we entered St. Patrick's Cathedral. I didn't expect to not have to say, "quiet down, we're entering a church." rather, it was the young men who were speaking up and making sure that all were behaving properly in the presence of Christ.
I applaud the community at Salesian High School, but more so the Students there. I pray that they continue to be the find young men that they are being molded into.
