Guatemala - Social Communication Meeting of Salesian Province of Central America

13 December 2022

San Pedro Carchá, Dec. 2022 - From Nov. 28 to Dec. 1, local communicators from the 24 works of the Salesians of the Central American Province (CAM) gathered for their seventh annual meeting. The Salesian missionary work in San Pedro Carchá was the setting that brought together 40 communicators. The meeting addressed topics such as: the Rector Major's policy document, the Global Educational Pact, and a deep reflection on Pope Francis' message for Social Communications Day in 2022: "Listening with the Ear of the Heart." The time was also used to review the Provincial Social Communication Project and the structure of local plans for 2023.

This was the first time that a group of communicators met on mission grounds; thus, the participants were able to learn about Salesian works by visiting the community of Chison, where they were welcomed with great joy. Together with the community, they experienced a Eucharist in the Qeqchí language and later had a meeting with local children to whom they offered sweets and toys. There was also an opportunity to learn about the "Talita Kumi" educational center for young indigenous women and the "Don Bosco Center" for men. Both works touched the hearts of the communicators.

The Salesian community joyfully welcomed this cheerful and playful group, but committed to the Salesian mission of the Communication Sector, so on the last day, the Salesians provided a dinner filled with music and gratitude. Each Salesian communicator returned to their work with a deeper sense of network, family, and Salesian mission. The next meeting is scheduled for November 2023.
