Caracas, Venezuela - April 2023 - The Association of the "Damas Salesianas" (ADS) of Venezuela gathered via Zoom, last April 12, to take part in the national pre-assembly, in the presence of an important guest from Colombia: Fr. Luis Bernardo Mur Malagón, COB Provincial Delegate for the Salesian Family and ADS National Councilor of Colombia. Pre-assemblies play a key role in discussing and achieving the goals of the Association. Through them, in fact, the "Damas Salesianas" can gain a global vision of the challenges that arise daily and find a shared solution to address them. In addition, pre-assemblies ensure a constructive dialogue on these issues and strengthen the sense of belonging, getting to know Don Bosco, the Salesian Family, and ADS itself. They also have the task of proposing candidates for local councils, thus determining the quality and effectiveness of the next national council to be formed.
