Portugal - November 2024 - In November, the educative and pastoral communities of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Cabo Verde, Mirandela, Porto and Funchal, celebrated the Festival of Youth Holiness with special activities proposed by the Pastoral Ministry and Schools. With great fervour and joy, the Salesian Educational Community in Cabo Verde celebrated the Festival of Youth Holiness. With four days of spiritual preparation, the event centred on the simultaneous celebration of two Eucharists, in the school and in the chapel, and sports activities of various disciplines in three different locations. In Mirandela, the Youth Holiness Festival aimed to look at all models of youth holiness and reflect on their ability to take the initiative with other young people and put their gifts to good use. An afternoon of conviviality and willingness shared by all was experienced during the Eucharist, as well as cultural and learning moments. The Salesians in Porto celebrated the Feast of Youth Holiness, where the pupils of the Don Bosco school took St Dominic Savio as an example. Indeed, joy was the dominant note of the day throughout the various activities. In Funchal, the celebration was enhanced by the presence of Fr Tarcízio Morais, Superior of the Salesian Province of Portugal, who presided over the Eucharist, and highlighted the simplicity and importance of each person trusting, with courage, in the achievement of holiness. Important figures from the history of the Salesians of the school, which celebrates 75 years in 2025, were not forgotten.
