Italy – "Camp 4" and assembly of the Salesian Youth Movement at Colle Don Bosco
Castelnuovo Don Bosco, Italy – September 2024 – From 19 to 22 September, "Camp 4" took place at Colle Don Bosco: a moment of retreat and formation for young people aged 18 to 29. Within the week, on Saturday 21 September, the Assembly of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) was held which involved the Rectors of the Salesian houses in Piedmont and Val d 'Aosta, Salesians, Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and young people sharing responsibility for the mission of the Salesian houses. In his speech to the Assembly, Pierluigi Dovis, President of Caritas Turin, addressed two central themes: the need for an intergenerational community and the important role of young people. In his conclusion, he invited young people to live their faith as a collective path, made of mutual accompaniment and sharing. Immediately after, a large amount of personal reflection and sharing time was dedicated to small groups and a space for questions. Dovis concluded with an invitation to hope, perceived as a living force, nourished by the certainty that God's love is addressed to each one and welcomes human imperfections and limitations. "Camp 4" then ended with the pilgrimage to Chieri, on Sunday 22nd.
