Bogotá, Colombia - May 2022 - To strengthen the work in synodality of the Salesian Provinces of Bogotá (COB) and Medellín (COM), a joint meeting of the Provincial Councils was held from May 1-3 at the "St. Francis de Sales" Spirituality Center, to review the Provincial projects. During the meeting, the work done by the inter-provincial commissions of Salesian Youth Ministry, Formation, Evangelization and Catechesis, and Joint Formation was shared. Similarly, the work done in the Provincial Chapters was also shared, where opportunities, tasks, and challenges that Salesians face deal with in shared mission in the service of Colombian youth were presented. A formative space was led by researcher Lola Cendales Gonzáles, who oriented the reflection on the need to strengthen the social projection of the Salesian charism in Colombia and shared her experience of accompanying young Colombians in vulnerable situations. The event concluded with a follow-up meeting on the educational-pastoral projection work of both Provinces. A general evaluation of the meeting and a visit to the campus of the Salesian University Foundation ended the gathering.
