ONE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER FR. ALBERA’S DEATH
1921 – 2021
On the occasion of the first centenary of his death, an exhibit dedicated to the Second Successor of Don Bosco, Fr. Paul Albera.
Don Bosco had to choose one of his boys to come to the prie-dieu as if to make his confession. He looked around and, with a smile, made his choice known: “Paul, come here please. Kneel down and lean your forehead against mine so we can keep each other from moving!
Don Bruno Ferrero
The exhibit, comprising 29 displays, unfolds in the Oratory’s original dining hall located in the crypt of Casa Don Bosco Museum, where the boys gathered for their meals from 1854 to 1858.
