The Missionary Week of the BSP "Mary Help of Christians" Province took place this year from July 16 to 24 in the cities of Águas de Prata, Aparecida, São José dos Campos, Guararema, Barrinha, Tatuí, Ipeúna, São Carlos, Santo Antônio do Jardim, Rio Claro and Americana and in the city of Itanhandu in Minas Gerais. The group active in Americana conducted activities from July 9 to 17.
The preparation of the young missionaries was, as usual, high and meticulous in detail. The groups were accompanied and supported by the "Missionary Map" grant developed starting from the Gospel of Mark. The material, divided into six progressive stages and consisting of songs, Bible readings, and suggestions for the animation of group dynamics, addressed topics such as: the formation of the first missionary disciples, the life, daily life, and teachings of Jesus.
In the presentation developed for the missionary itinerary, Fr. Rafael Galvão, Provincial Delegate for Mission Animation, described this activity not only as a week of work but as "a moment of reliance on the evangelizing experience of Jesus and His disciples. It is a real invitation to leave one's comfort zone and go out to meet the other."
Again according to the BSP Salesian Mission Week leader, in bringing the Gospel and the Good News, missionaries also have the experience of recognizing Christ Himself present in every home, in every story, in every child and young person encountered along their journey, and they have the opportunity to choose to live fully with God, in the Salesian style of Don Bosco.
