Italy – October 2024 - 15 days have passed since 25 pilgrims left the Salesian works in Ecuador to the places of Don Bosco. The group formed by Directors and Deputy Directors of Salesian School Centres (CES), responsible for the Salesian Project, Oratories, parish and administrative management, human talents and lay Directors, was accompanied by Fr Mauricio Leime, Provincial Delegate for Youth Ministry. The spiritual and formative experience responds to the objective of the Overall Provincial Project (OPP) 2023-2029: to ensure the transmission and life of the Salesian charism in both religious and lay Salesians to be faithful to the mission, today. For the pilgrims, it represented a deeply enriching spiritual experience, a journey of inner renewal, a closer encounter with the faith, history and legacy of Don Bosco that revives commitment to the mission, starting from the responsibilities entrusted in each of the works. Walking and praying in Piedmont; visiting Turin, Colle Don Bosco, Valdocco, Chieri, the home of Mamma Margaret and Dominic Savio allowed the laity to witness a life of holiness starting from everyday life, and to have a personal encounter with God, through the knowledge of the various stages of John Bosco's life. In the same way, they had the opportunity to understand the role of Mamma Margaret in the life of Don Bosco, and of the Virgin Mary, the guiding thread of his great work. In addition, the pilgrims also visited the Headquarters in Rome and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The pilgrimage showed the participants how Don Bosco was a model of resilience and perseverance, which challenges them to renew their commitment to transforming the lives of young people by accompanying them in the current context.
