Philippines – FIN Province Provincial Chapter
Tagaytay, Philippines – June 2024 - Salesians in the North Philippines Province (FIN) gathered at Don Bosco Batulao from 16 to 20 June for the 2024 Provincial Chapter. Chapter members explored and deliberated mainly on the contribution and participation of the FIN Province to GC29 to be held in Turin in 2025 on the theme "Passionate about Jesus Christ, dedicated to young people", and on its three core areas and on the challenges of the Province. The Provincial Chapter was chaired by Fr Gerardo Martin, Provincial and Fr Alexander Garces, Moderator, and was attended by forty-eight Salesians and an observer, Fr Ramon Borja, from the Salesian community of Kuching, Malaysia. In addition to dealing with these central issues, the Chapter also addressed some issues of great importance: the health program for confreres in the Province, reshaping communities, houses and settings, the displacement of the Academic Year. The Eucharistic celebrations with homilies and Good Nights have enriched the chapter celebration. The Assembly elected Fr Alexander Garces as delegate to the GC29 and Salesian Brother Carmelo Martinez, as substitute.
