Manaus, Brazil – February 2024 – The installation ceremony of Fr Felipe Bauzière as the new Superior of the Salesian Province St Dominic Savio of Brazil-Manaus (BMA) and of the Vice-Provincial Fr Raimundo Marcelo Maciel took place on Monday, 5 February at the St Joseph the Worker Shrine. The celebration was presided over by Fr Gabriel Romero, Councillor for the America South Cone Region, in the presence of the Provincials of Campo Grande, Fr Ricardo Carlos; Porto Alegre, Fr Ademir Ricardo; Belo Horizonte, Fr Natale Vitali; and Fr Thiago Eliomar, representing the Province of São Paulo. Also present were Bishop Edson Damian, bishop emeritus of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, groups of the Salesian Family, young people from the Salesian Youth Movement, Salesians of Don Bosco and Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. In the homily, Fr Romero thanked Fr Jefferson Luis, outgoing Provincial, for his service and Fr Felipe Bauzière for his "yes" to the assignment. Drawing inspiration from the liturgy of the day and the Constitutions, the Regional Councillor highlighted the service of the Provincial: serving the confreres, caring for formation and, above all, humanising the experience of religious life with the ability to welcome, dialogue, value and respect the confrere. Simply put, being a good shepherd by following the example of Jesus Christ.
