Costa Rica – Meeting of Salesian Cooperators of the Interamerica Region
Costa Rica – August 2024 – In recent days, the Salesian Cooperators of the Interamerica Region have gathered virtually to take part in the third regional meeting. During the meeting, Sister Lucrecia Uribe, World Delegate of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians for the Association of Salesian Cooperators, and Martín Calderón, ASC World Councillor for the Region, also spoke. Many activities were planned during the day, such as Sister Uribe's conference on the significant presence of Mary and group work sessions to answer three questions: A word that defines your relationship with Mary? What gestures do you use to relate to Mary? What is your favourite Marian biblical quote? Videos were then shown on the life of three Salesian Cooperators on their way to the altars and on their relationship with Jesus and Mary: Nino Baglieri, Blessed Alexandrina Maria Da Costa and Vera Grita. Martín Calderón then closed the meeting – which involved 170 participants from 13 countries – encouraging everyone to let themselves be guided and accompanied by Mary Help of Christians.
