Italy - ASSCC World Council meets Salesian Cooperator presbyters and deacons
Italy - December 2022 - From its origins, St. John Bosco conceived the Association of Salesian Cooperators open to lay people as well as secular clergy. Even today, the Association of Salesian Cooperators counts, among its members, members of the diocesan clergy; presbyters and deacons who, in the exercise of their ministry, are inspired by Don Bosco's pastoral charity, bringing everywhere the commitment to educate and evangelize, with privileged attention to young people. Thus, last December 13, the ASSCC World Council promoted and organized a first online meeting of these members to cultivate and grow a sense of belonging and family spirit. The World Coordinator, Antonio Boccia, the SDB World Delegate, Mr. Duc Nam Nguyen, the FMA World Delegate, Sister Lucrecia Uribe, and some World Councilors attended. The meeting included a brief communication by the Coordinator, a quick passage introducing all those present, a beautiful moment of prayer led by the FMA World Delegate, and then concluded with the agreement for a new meeting set for next spring. A simple but meaningful meeting. "We can say that a seed was sown that, as it grows, will be able to better enhance the presence of this diocesan presbyter and deacon members in the Association," commented the Councilor for Italy, Middle East and Malta Region of the SSCC, Carlo Pellegrino.
