Mexico - Meeting of Delegates for Missionary Animation of America
Amatitán, Mexico - October 2022 - From October 12 to 16, Delegates for Missionary Animation (DIAM) of America met in Amatitán to reflect on missionary animation on the continent. The meeting experienced some important points, including the analysis of the strategic plans of the DIAMs of the different countries, missionary formation for Salesians, and other relevant documents of the sector, as well as the development of an operational strategic plan to work in a network in order to help the accompaniment of DIAMs. It should be noted that DIAMs have been meeting virtually for two years: this has helped provide support and recognition for the importance of networking. During the meeting, there was also an analysis of the current state and strategic plans of each province, and Fr. Alfred Maravilla, General Councilor for Missions, spoke with a lecture based on the minutes of the General Council concerning the importance of the missionary charism in the Salesian Congregation. The talk inspired the participants to take new steps.
