DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR PROVINCE ONLINE SHARING

SUNDAY, JANUARY 15: 3:30-5:00PM ET

–       What are the basic human family needs that can be addressed by the insertion of Don Bosco’s lay followers within the everyday life of family, society, and civic structures?

–       How can priests and consecrated religious in Don Bosco’s Salesian Family nurture the lay dimension in his or her vocation? In what ways is that lay dimension expressed? 

–       How can living the lay vocation as a Salesian family member be the yeast for transforming the human family in settings of familial, social and civic life?
