BACOLOR, PAMPANGA - Fr. Stefano Martoglio, SDB, Vicar General of the Rector Major, started his fraternal visit at Don Bosco Academy-Bacolor (DBA) on the morning of November 22, 2023.
Fr. Martoglio, Fr. Gerardo Martin, SDB, and Fr. Joel Camaya, SDB, arrived at the school premises around 7:00 AM.


Despite the transport strike in Pampanga, members of the DBA community, led by the Rector, Fr. Renato de Guzman, SDB, and School Director Bro. Carmelo Martinez, SDB, lined the campus gates to welcome the distinguished guests.


Fr. Martoglio was toured around the school campus as Fr. De Guzman explained the school’s history.


Afterward, the visitors, Salesians, and lay-mission partners gathered at the chapel to officially welcome the Vicar General. A short welcoming program was held to appreciate his presence, as DBA Bacolor was the first Salesian school he visited during his trip to the FIN province. In honor of this, he was given a DBA logo made from lahar—a symbol of DBA’s resilience throughout history.




Before concluding his visit, Fr. Martoglio emphasized that Don Bosco Academy-Bacolor and other Salesian schools are beautiful places where people can find and grow their relationship with God.
