(ANS – Rome) – Also the Salesian Family has its “Euro 2016”: not only for football, but for several disciplines; big stars are not involved, but hundreds of feasting young people; there are no hooligans, no clashes, but athletes and fans who, after the games, gather in “Valdocco” area to pray or to make friends. These are the International Salesian Games, which since a few years are called “PGS-I” (from the Italian acronym “Polisportive Giovanili Salesiane – Internazionali” International Salesian Youth Sports Games).
