Quito,Ecuador – April 2024 – Salesian Youth Ministry Week is a formative proposal that allows those who take part to grow in charismatic identity through study and experience. For six days, from 14 to 19 April, 47 collaborators from different sectors and settings in the Salesian Province of Ecuador (ECU) together experienced and were active in a continuous learning process that called them to a renewed commitment of shared responsibility, between Salesians and lay people, for the mission of Don Bosco in Ecuador. Fr Mauricio Leime, Provincial Delegate for Youth Ministry, explained that through such initiatives they try to "bring participants closer to a deep experience of God, in the street, in the playground, in the oratory." Several conferences were held  during these days,  including one by Daniel Llanos on "The world of young people", another by Fr Wladimir Acosta, entitled "The challenges of education today", and by Fr Leime, "The God I believe in", as well as a  conference by Fr Luis Timossi called "Like Don Bosco". Fr Marcelo Farfán, ECU Provincial, also attended the event, presiding over the Eucharist and sharing a moment of fraternal sharing with the participants.
