Turin, Italy - November 2022 - On November 12 and 13, in Valdocco, young people, Salesians, and Daughters of Mary Help of Christians met for a discussion regarding the different activities of Missionary Animation on the Italian territory. The participants are part of the provincial teams of Missionary Animation. Twenty-four hours of discussion, testimonies, and working groups to get to know each other, dialogue, and to draw up and plan a shared path. Opening the work table was the testimony of Br. Cosimo Cossu, SDB, a missionary in Ecuador for 20 years, and Michela Vallarino, president of the Salesian NGO Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo (VIS). Wisdom, patience, and hope were the three words that accompanied this meeting, during which they also reflected on how to: be able to read the current times and understand the desire of young people; know how to wait for the fruits of something sown recently; have faith and realize that one must be like mirrors that reflect God's Love for young people.
