Colombia – Joint meeting of the Provincial Councils of the Salesian Provinces of Bogotá and Medellín
Dosquebradas, Colombia – September 2024 - On 2 and 3 September, the joint meeting of the Provincial Councils of the Salesian Provinces of Colombia, Bogotá (cob) and Medellín (COM) is taking place at San Juan Bosco School in Dosquebradas (Risaralda). The event is held with the aim of strengthening the processes of discernment around the care of the Salesian vocation starting from the identity of consecrated persons. In addition, by reflecting, sharing and discerning together, a space has been opened to strengthen the experience of fraternity. During the Meeting, the curatoriums held in the formative communities of the Novitiate, Postnovitiate (Colombia) and Theologate (Guatemala) were followed up. In another moment, the work animated by the processes of Salesian Youth Ministry, Formation and Economy was shared from the perspectives of joint work for the new six-year period. This experience challenges the work arising from the shared mission of the Salesian charism in the country and strengthens the dynamic of the initiatives and processes that are carried out to enrich the accompaniment and needs of Educative and Pastoral Communities and young people in the Colombian context.
