Resende, Brazil – September 2024 – On 28 September, the St Joseph festive oratory was held at the Esperança do Futuro Educational Centre in the Beira Rio district of Resende. Present for the occasion were Salesians, young people from the Salesian Youth Movement, Salesian Cooperators and members of the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA). This oratory marked the beginning of a project that aims to provide a welcoming space where education, faith and fun go hand in hand.
