Catania, Italy - September 2022 - The usual annual meeting of young Salesians from the Salesian Province of Sicily in initial formation was held from August 30 to September 2 at the Don Bosco Hostel (Playa) in Catania. The Salesians experienced days of fraternity, relaxation and formation with the theme of projectuality at the center, carried out through the "Projectus Workshop," a tool created by Gigi Cotichella and presented by Fr Alberto Anzalone and Fr Dario Spinella. The workshop simulation aimed at planning in the vocational field for the preadolescent group. The third day of the camp was marked by two main moments: the visit of Archbishop Luigi Renna, Archbishop of the Diocese of Catania, who highlighted the importance of the Salesian mission front at a time of serious educational emergency, stressing the importance of "looking for the Bartolomeo Garelli in the oratory"; and the discussion between the Provincial Center's operational group and the young Salesians present. The camp concluded with a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Valverde and the Eucharist presided over by ISI Provincial Fr Giovanni D'Andrea. Conclusion, this one, that reopens to the pastoral activities of the winter that will see engaged, in the fronts of the Salesian mission, the Salesians who experienced moments of fraternity together before leaving again.
