Mongolia – An overall assessment of the Salesian mission in Mongolia
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia – April 2024 – The Salesian mission in Mongolia began in 2001, started by five Salesians, two of whom are still in the country. Last year, Fr Alfred Maravilla, General Councillor for the Missions, made an Extraordinary Visitation to Mongolia, asking the Salesians a crucial question: what will be the future of the Mongolian Delegation? In addition, during the Team Visit to the East Asia-Oceania Region, the Rector Major, Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, stressed the urgency for the Provinces to make decisions on their own future, always giving priority to the option for the most needy. In light of these reflections, and also considering the still tangible consequences of the pandemic, the Salesians of the Delegation of Mongolia met in an Assembly for an overall assessment of what needs to be continued and what needs to be reshaped. The Assembly was held from 8 to 10 April at the Handgait Retreat House, in the presence of all the members of the Delegation and Fr Marcello Baek, representing the South Korean Provincial Council. The purpose of the Assembly was to present the general situation of the mission, so that all Salesians now working in the Delegation of Mongolia are aware of the real situation, as a whole. Subsequently, a second Assembly will be held, in which it will be decided which Apostolates to continue and which to reconsider.
