A monument dedicated to Don Bosco has been built at Ushuaia, the southern most city in the world, as part of the celebrations for the beatification of Salesian Indian Ceferino Namuncura.
Missionary Service News (OMPRESS) said that the two-meter sculpture made of cement is the work of the pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Mercies in Ushuaia, Father Jose Ellero, and shows Don Bosco together with two boys and a girl.
The monument is located in front of the historic church built by Salesian missionaries and the Don Bosco Institute. The inauguration ceremony was presided over by Salesian Bishop Juan Carlos Romanin of Rio Gallegos.
