Guatemala - National Preferential Option Meeting on "Faith and Commitment"

28 March 2024

Guatemala City, Guatemala - March 2024 -  A National Meeting of Preferential Option works and social services at the service of young people in situations of vulnerability and exclusion in the Salesian presence in Guatemala took place at the Miguel Magone Youth Centre in Guatemala City. 52 young leaders and 57 educators and leaders from Mission Societies, Oratories and Vocational Training Centres in different parts of the country  spoke on the theme of "Faith and Commitment". The meeting was held with three goals: to become aware of the deep relationship that must exist between faith and justice in our life and in Educative and Pastoral Community; to deepen knowledge of some social factorss concerning the relationship between faith and justice; to better understand some aspects of social reality that affect especially young people. These meetings allow people to continue dreaming as Don Bosco did with his young people to accompany them in their different processes of growth and commitment to faith, in the transformation of their lives and their environments with a heart that transforms "wolves" into "lambs".
