Medellín, Colombia – July 2024 - Last Sunday, 28 July, Fr José Ariel Guerrero Castro assumed the position of Superior of the Salesian Province St Luis Bertrand of Medellín, Colombia (COM) for the 2024-2030 period. The installation marks the beginning of a new stage in the government of the Province, which carries out an excellent educational and evangelising work in the area of western Colombia. The ceremony was presided over by Fr Hugo Orozco Sánchez, Councillor for the Interamerica Region, at the El Sufragio Salesian work, in the presence of Fr Luis Fernando Valencia Mosquera, former Provincial, involving other Salesians from all over the country, as well as family members and parishioners. The ceremony also paid tribute to the historical journey of the COM Province and all its leaders, since its foundation in 1957; as well as the role of the  El Sufragio work, the first COM provincial house, where generations of Salesians were formed. Finally, the event reaffirmed and renewed the fundamental mission of the Salesians in the community: to be signs and bearers of God's love, placing themselves as the animating nucleus of the entire Educative and Pastoral Community (EPC).
