DR Congo - Promise of twenty-seven new Salesian Cooperators from the AFC-EST St Joseph Delegation
Goma, DR Congo – July 2024 - On Sunday 7 July, in the chapel of the ITIG Salesian Community, Fr Pascual Chávez, Rector Major Emeritus of the Salesian Congregation, presided over a Eucharistic celebration during which the Association of Salesian Cooperators (ASC) welcomed twenty-seven new members through their solemn promise. They came from several local centres in the works of the AFC-EST Delegation including four from Don Bosco Ngangi, one from ITIG, seven from BOSCOLAC, seven from Shasha and eight from Uvira. The aspiring cooperators who made their promise were formed for three years for some and more for others according to the Association's Project of Apostolic Life. After Fr Chávez's homily, the Provincial Delegate for the AFC-EST, Fr Gauthier Tshibangu, urged the new ASCs to be faithful disciples of Christ in the Catholic Church and to promote poor and abandoned young people to build the Kingdom of God.
