Madrid, Spain – November 2024 – A new chapter in the joint history of the Valdocco Communities in Spain was written on 9 November. The Provincial House in Madrid hosted the second formation meeting of these groups of young people and adults, thus strengthening a project that aims to promote Christian life and social commitment in a community environment with a Salesian spirit. The meeting expresses the journey of communion undertaken in recent years to consolidate a project that protects something that already existed in some Salesian houses in Spain and that has emerged strongly in many others. With the patronage of the Salesian National Centre for Youth Ministry, a common project was developed and a first meeting was held in 2021. In this second meeting, a complete program was offered that ranged from theological reflections to the exchange of practical experiences. In total there were about thirty participants from the two Salesian Provinces of Spain:  St James the Greater and Mary Help of Christians. The director of the Salesian National Centre for Youth Ministry, Fr José Miguel Núñez, had the task of introducing the participants to the theological and pastoral principles of the Valdocco Community project. His presentation served to deepen the foundations that support these communities of followers of Jesus and to clarify their mission within the Church. Then participants divided into four working groups reflected on the challenges of these communities and shared their experiences. The delegate for Youth Ministry in SSM Province, Fr Xabier Camino, concluded the meeting, offering a summary of the main topics discussed and outlining some future prospects for the Valdocco Communities.
