22 May 2024

Fatima, Portugal – May 2024 – It was in a festive atmosphere that the young people of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) of Portugal welcomed Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major of the Salesians of Don Bosco, on the occasion of the SYM meeting that took place on 18 May in Fatima. Hundreds of young people gathered in the auditorium of the Paul VI Pastoral Centre and celebrated St John Bosco's childhood dream with the Rector Major. "Let's advance in the dream" was the title of the show "Art and Faith" that the SYM from the different schools and settings of the Salesians and the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians brought to the stage. This year the SYm celebration had the special presence of the Rector Major, who was in Fatima to preside over the Pilgrimage of the Salesian Family. The words of Jesus and Mary, Mother and Teacher of the young John Bosco, were the inspiration for young people to reflect on their lives, their experiences, their learning and even their problems. The audience, guided by the voices and choreographies of the young people, retraced the night of the prophetic dream that St John Bosco had as a nine-year-old.
