Silvânia, Brazil - January 2023 - From January 9 to 20, the city of Silvânia, in the state of Goiás, will welcome young people from the Salesian provinces "St. John Bosco," "St. Pius X," "St. Dominic Savio," "Our Lady Help of Christians," and "St. Louis Gonzaga," who are part of the "Inter-Provincial Group for Missionary Animation" (GIAM) project. The goal of the initiative is to offer missionary experiences to young people and to bring them closer to the cultural traditions of the region. The project began its activities on Jan. 6 in Brasilia with the reception of the youth. Then it continued with moments of interaction, sharing, prayer, Eucharistic celebrations, and training sessions that reinforced the sense and goal of the mission. On Jan. 9, the youth were divided into groups and sent on a missionary visit to families from more than 30 communities in the "Nosso Senhor do Bomfim" parish in Silvânia.
