Slovenia – Weeks of spirituality for young people
Uskovnica, Slovenia – August 2024 – In July and August, three weeks of spirituality for young people aged 15 to 29 were held in Uskovnica, a Salesian alpine refuge. These days, called "Uskovnica", have been held for almost forty years and aim to promote integral human and spiritual growth for young people from parishes, oratories, youth centres and other places of activity for young people in Salesian presences. This year's programme was prepared and implemented by young Leaders, accompanied by Salesians and Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, under the guidance of the Salesian Youth Ministry in the SLO Province. The theme of the event was "Družinaje zakon", which in Slovenian literally means "The family is the law", but which is also a play on words: "law" in Slovenian means "marriage", but also, in popular language, excellent, good. Participants listened to guest testimonies and lectures and discussed in groups the importance of the sacrament of marriage, family relationships and challenges for the family in today's society. All this was interspersed with moments of joy, fraternity and prayer.
