Panjim, India - January 2023 - The Youth Ministry (YM) of the Salesian Province "St. Joseph Vaz" of India-Panjim (INP) held its first meeting last Saturday, January 14, 2023. It was attended by a total of 15 people: the Heads of the four YM Dimensions and those of the Commissions and Sectors and Services of the Province, who gathered for more than four hours at the Provincial House in Odxel, Goa, to understand and initiate the processes of YM relationship and functioning. Encouraged by INP Provincial Fr. Clive Telles, the gathering delved into the Framework for Youth Ministry and the Educational-Pastoral Model as presented by the General Counselor for YM, Fr. Miguel Angel Garcia Morcuende, in his book, "Education is a Matter of Hearts." In this way, the dialogue among all allowed an evaluation of the current Salesian YM of the Province in comparison with the proposal of the Congregation's "Educational-Pastoral Model"; and there was also no lack of time for sharing the different experiences of those present in their respective areas of YM work. The meeting, opened and closed by the interventions of its Vicar, Fr. Banzelao Teixeira, increased in everyone the awareness of the need to collaborate to build networks and tools for animation, starting from the Salesian Educational Pastoral Plan, and to realize in this way the process of planning and unitary advancement of the Province in this field.
