Argentina – Organisational processes underway for the American Salesian Missionary Congress 2025
Bahía Blanca, Argentina – December 2023 - The first meeting of the organising committee of the American Salesian Missionary Congress on the Spirituality of Indigenous Peoples, to be held in Buenos Aires in 2025, took place at the headquarters of the Salesian University (UNISAL) rectorate in the city of Bahía Blanca. The congress is part of one of the formation initiatives within the framework of the various activities that will be carried out that year to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the First Missionary Expedition in Argentina, sent by Don Bosco himself in 1875. Convened by the Delegate for the Missions of the Province of Argentina South, Fr Francisco Chimento, this committee aims to organise the congress in all its phases. The event, which will take place from 5-8 May 2025, aims to bring together all the missionary experiences of America on the basis of a theology of the mission and spirituality of indigenous peoples. The Salesian House of Higher Education (UNISAL and Juan 23) has been asked to accompany the congress academically. In these early discussions among the members of the committee, "interculturality" is described as the concept that missiology offers us today. In the same way, the scientific world, through the social sciences, has much to offer evangelisation in mission. The organising committee set a series of objectives to be achieved in the short term in order to define the main presentations, the dissemination and the most appropriate place to receive the one hundred participants from all the Salesian Provinces of America.
