Catania, Italy – June 2016 - Fr. Eusebio Muñoz, Delegate of the Rector Major for the Salesian Family, last weekend visited the Don Bosco Colony of Catania, the centre of first reception for Non-accompanied Foreign Minors, run by the Don Bosco 2000 association, in the context of the “Don Bosco Island” project. Don Bosco Colony at present hosts 60 young migrants, most of whom coming from Sub-Saharan Africa, assisted by a team of professionals belonging to the Salesian Family and coordinated by Cinzia Vella, a Salesian Cooperator. The reception project comprises numerous activities of integration in the city oratories and in the Colony itself with inter-cultural collaborators. Fr. Muñoz, accompanied by the responsible for the Salesian Family in Sicily, Fr. Angelo Grasso, encountered the migrants and the staff: “I am very happy to be here in Catania – he said – I deem it important that a Salesian centre deal with reception, putting into practice the preventive system of Don Bosco, especially in this historical period in which migrants arrive”.
