Colombia - Missionary Experience Easter 2023

12 April 2023

Medellín, Colombia - April 2023 - During Holy Week, missionary groups in the Salesian Province of Colombia-Medellín (COM) gave new impetus to missionary momentum, responding to the Provincial Mission Animation Project (PIAM), developed along the four areas indicated by the Salesian Congregation's Missions Sector: missionary vocation, missionary formation, new frontiers and missionary solidarity. The goal was to strengthen mission culture, revive support for mission areas, and promote missionary formation committed to the apostolate, with the participation of all groups and communities. The first mission in 2023 was held in three places in COM Province: Minca, Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, with 20 missionaries led by Fr. Jesús Bolaños and Ms. Eloina; Santander de Quilichao, Cauca, where 12 missionaries participated, led by Fr. Gustavo Monsalve and Fr. Franklin Quirama; and Condoto, Chocó, where 24 missionaries led by Fr. Fabio Díaz, Fr. Juan Diego López, Fr. José Hernando and Fr. Hernán Carmona, carried out their activities in four villages. Through local initiatives such as the "Easter Children" or "Easter Youth," and community prayer and participation in the Easter Triduum, the days were an opportunity for everyone to learn and experience missionary communion.
