Manipur will be the country's first state to receive the casket containing the relic of saint Don Bosco at Imphal airport on April 29. The sacred relic will then be brought to the Cathedral in Bishop's House in Dibrugarh.
The relic will also be available at Don Bosco School on May 12 for public invocations and homage, Joseph Aind, the Bishop of Dibrugarh, said.
The pilgrimage is part of the preparation for the 2015 bicentenary of Don Bosco’s birth and also to mark the 150th year of the founding of the Salesian congregation.
The casket began its journey on April 25, 2009, from Italy's Valdocco, Turin, in the Basilica of ‘Mary Help of Christians’ and is set to cross five continents, where Salesian members are serving the youth in particular.
Salesians of Don Bosco, the congregation founded by Don Bosco, have schools, junior colleges, vocational training institutes and social organisations spread in the entire North-East.
