Naples, Italy - November 2023 - Four Religious Professions have marked the pastoral life of the Salesian Province of Southern Italy (IME) in the second half of this year: those of Altjon Roku, on 16 September in Tirana, Davide Baccaro and Luigi Sergio, on 7 October in Soverato and Luigi Dantone, on 12 November in Caserta. They made perpetual vows of Obedience, Poverty and Chastity, becoming part of the Salesian Congregation. They were months in which the entire Salesian Family in the south gathered around them, sharing the joy of their common choice to consecrate their lives to God through the educational and evangelising service for young people, following the example of Don Bosco. "The professions we experienced from September to November," says Provincial Fr Gianpaolo Roma, "are truly a 'river of Grace' that has unfolded during this time. A river that certainly brings new life and hope to our Eductive and Pastoral Communities, and which encourages us to continue to be bold in proposing to young people the Salesian way as a path to happiness'. Brought up in the oratories of southern Italy and Albania, the 4 new perpetually professed Salesians grew in their vocation through their commitment to animation of young people, as a daily experience of Salesian Youth Spirituality.
