Italy – Meeting of the Coordinating team of the national office of parishes and oratories of the Italian Conference of Salesian Provinces
Rome, Italy – January 2024 – A meeting of the Coordinating team for the National Office of Parishes and Oratories of the Italian Conference of Salesian Provinces (CISI) took place on 11 January. On the agenda was evaluation of the national seminar on the identity of the parish entrusted to the Salesians, held from 14 to 16 November 2023 in Rome. The programme was then planned to continue the reflection and study to be offered to the entire Salesian settings in Italy on this issue, and the study of the recent document on the oratory produced by the Youth Ministry Sector of the Salesian Congregation. At the end of the work, the Eucharist was celebrated at the altar of Mary Help of Christians in the church of the Sacred Heart: it was the way to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Dream at nine years of age as a National Office. It was, in fact, at that altar that Don Bosco understood the words spoken by the "Lady of stately Appearance" he saw in the dream: "In good time you will understand everything". It was 16 May 1887, and Don Bosco still had a few months to live.
