Copacabana, Colombia - May 2017 - During the 4th Continental Meeting of the Salesian School in America (ESA IV), Fr René Antonio Santos, SDB, was officially appointed as the new coordinator for the Salesian Schools of America. His role is to accompany the situation in the continent with formation courses of reflection and study on the issues of evangelization and education that concern the school. Fr Santos will have the task of bringing continuity to the projects of Fr Miguel Ángel García, who preceded him in the job.
