Duaca, Venezuela - June 2023 – The Domingo Savio Youth Centre in Duaca celebrated its Day of Gratitude on 23 June involving some 300 people. Under the motto "Gratitude is the memory of the heart", the community gathered to thank God for the trust placed in the Salesians and the pastoral agents who animate the youth works. The Eucharist, presided over by the Salesian Youth Ministry Delegate of the Salesian Province of Venezuela (VEN), Fr Jorge Bastidas, was a special moment to reflect on the importance of gratitude and encourage the community to thank God for the blessings received. The central message of the celebration focused on the importance of remembering and being grateful for the experiences lived, recognising God's action in the life of each person. The young people at the Youth Centre stood out during the celebration, presenting several cultural events that reflected their talent and commitment to the faith. At the end of the day, they received medals that indicate the next path of faith education that they will have to live, with the aim of planning their lives and becoming builders of hope. During the celebration, the young people committed themselves to animating, organising and working for the Summer Oratories, expressing the desire to continue evangelising and helping other children and young people to get closer to God.
