Peru – Day of Spirituality for the Salesian Family "The dream makes us return to our roots"
Lima, Peru – April 2024 - More than 300 people from the different groups of the Salesian Family of Peru gathered in the auditorium of the María Auxiliadora School in Breña to celebrate the Day of Salesian Spirituality. This fraternal meeting took place under the title proposed by Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major, in his Strenna entitled: "The dream that makes you dream". A heart that transforms "wolves" into "lambs". In addition to the various groups that make up the Salesian Family in Peru, the young people of the Breña Youth Centre also participated, offering their share of joy and animation, as well as students from the San Francisco de Sales school. The welcome greeting was given by Sister Elsy Núñez, Provincial of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, who in addition to thanking the participants for their presence highlighted the importance of the shared mission of the Salesian Family in a complex society that needs us. "May this day fill us with enthusiasm and inspire us to live our charism and our mission with fervour" she concluded. At another time of the day, after the presentation of the short film "Sueño.9" by Fr Jesús Jurado, Provincial Delegate for Social Communication, the Strenna was presented by Fr Juan Pablo Alcas, Superior of the PER Province. In his address the Provincial highlighted three key points that the Rector Major made on his last visit to Peru: the importance of communion, the renewal of charismatic identity and, finally, the value of visibility, but without wanting to stand out as special.
