Italy – Meeting of Adolescents of the Salesian Youth Movement of Sicily
Acireale, Italy - January 2024 - From 3 to 5 January, the Meeting of the Adolescents of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) of the Salesian Province of Italy-Sicily (ISI) was held at the "Wave Hotel" in Acireale. It was an event eagerly awaited upon by the Young Salesian animators. Among the topics addressed and the opportunities provided for spiritual growth, there was also enough time for building new friendships. The meeting was punctuated with many moments of fun and fraternity, listening to various testimonies of faith, with moments of reflection and group sharing, confrontation and self-knowledge. The annual pastoral proposal is focused on the Strenna - the "Dream", and the regional SYM council chose to focus on it during the meeting. The words of Pope Francis at WYD 2023: to shine, to listen and not to fear, helped the participants to understand the training clearly and effectively, under the guidance of two trainers. Fr Giovanni D'Andrea SDB, the Provincial of the ISI Province, presided over the Mass, in the presence of the FMA Provincial, Sr Angela Maria Maccioni FMA.
