Río Grande, Argentina - November 2023 - The Our Lady of Candelaria Salesian Agrotechnical School in Río Grande, popularly known as "The Mission," celebrated its 130th anniversary on 11 November. Founded in 1893 by Salesian Bishop Joseph Fagnano and Fr Jose María Beauvoir to protect the community of Selk'nam from the threat of gold diggers and ranchers, it currently continues its educational and community service tasks. The event and celebrations for this anniversary took place on 21 November involving students, families, authorities from the school, the Salesian institution and the provincial state. In the frozen territory of Tierra del Fuego, the place of Don Bosco's dreams and plans, the Salesians and the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians have carried out their evangelising mission, including human promotion, with unwavering love and untiring dedication for the indigenous peoples, to offer them, through the Gospel a hope for a new future.
