Panama – Meeting of Salesians in their quinquennium
Panama - June 2023 - The meeting of Salesians in their quinquennium year, that is, those Salesians who have completed their stage of initial formation between one and five years, is taking place in the retreat house at Monte Alvernia, in Panama, from 20 to 23 June. Fr René Santos, Vice-Provincial of the Salesian Province of Central America (CAM), has the task of accompanying the Salesians in their quinquennium, and ensuring that the three objectives are achieved during these days: to share experiences and concerns in order to show solidarity in consecration, fraternal life in community and mission; to reflect, in the light of the Word, on the pastoral, religious and Salesian situation of the individuals, communities and the Province; to plan for the future through concrete choices that belong to personal, community and youth circumstances. During the meeting, moments of prayer are alternated, an atmosphere of joy and fraternity is breathed, and topics related to ongoing formation are reflected upon. The meeting offers the Salesians who attend the opportunity to strengthen fraternal bonds, grow in their vocation and discern their commitment to the Salesian mission.
