Santo Domingo Dominican Republic – July 2024 – "The Lord's Prayer: my prayer" was the motto that brought together 85 Salesian Cooperators (ASC) and about 150 digitally connected for the ASC Retreat in the Dominican Republic. From 12 to 14 July at the Sagrada Familia retreat house, participants from 13 local centres in the country achieved the aim of seeking frank and sincere dialogue with the Lord by developing various topics. A  penitential act took plac en Saturday evening  in a special event that began with Eucharistic adoration accompanied by reflection on the 7 petitions of the Our Father, in a personal encounter of tenderness with the Lord through gestures and hymns. The liturgical meetings were the beginning and culmination of the activities with the celebration of the Word by Deacon Reynaldo Inoa and the concluding Eucharist celebrated by Fr Jinmy González, SDB. During the meeting, spaces for personal reflection, testimonies and encounters with God were experienced in an intimate and communal way. The participants were invited to renew and recharge their energies to continue  pastoral work in their respective local centres on behalf of the most vulnerable as Don Bosco woud want us to do today.
