Piracicaba, Brazil – July 2023 – More than 200 teenagers aged 15 to 17 from the Salesian Dom Bosco school in Piracicaba participated in the two sessions of Missionary Week 2023 – from 1 to 9 and from 16 to 23 July – in the cities of Rio Claro and Piracicaba. The goal of this pastoral project was to carry out a missionary experience with young people and with the community that welcomes them, one of the experiences of discipleship of Jesus Christ in the service of brothers and sisters in the faith. In communion with the Diocese of Piracicaba, which established the Diocesan Missionary Year, the young participants served in three diocesan parishes, visiting and blessing the homes of families, animating a festive oratory with children, and offering vigils of prayer and spirituality. "It is through service, prayer, solidarity and Salesian spirituality that we bear witness to the love of Jesus Christ for all of us," said Fr Douglas Verdi, Rector of the Salesian community in Piracicaba, who led the group of young missionaries.
