Brazil - The Salesian Network Brazil discusses joint strategies to strengthen the Salesian educational and pastoral mission
Brasilia, Brazil – November 2024 – On 22 November, the headquarters of the Salesian Network Brazil (RSB), in Brasilia, DF, hosted the 36th Ordinary General Assembly, bringing together representatives from the four provinces of the Conference of Provinces of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (CIB) and the six provinces of the Conference of Salesians of Don Bosco in Brazil (CISBRASIL). The meeting, which is traditionally held in April and November, represents a fundamental stage to evaluate the actions carried out and plan the next steps of the RSB in its educational and pastoral mission. On the second day of the assembly, the Salesian provincials and sisters participated in the meeting, guaranteeing the equality necessary for the work to be carried out. Representing Rome were Fr Gabriel Romero, Councillor of the America South Cone Region, and Sister Paola Battagliola, Daughter of Mary Help of Christians, General Councillor of Rome, Visitor and Contact Person of the CIB. Their contributions enriched the reflections, bringing a charismatic perspective to the meeting. "We are here to build together, on the basis of our charismatic values, paths that enhance youth education and ministry, always attentive to the needs of our time", highlighted Fr Romero. The event reaffirmed the mission of the RSB to transform life through integral and evangelising education, faithful to the charism of Don Bosco and Mother Mazzarello. Collaboration and strategic alignment between the Provinces and the RSB have distinguished themselves as pillars to face contemporary challenges in education and evangelisation. "We walk with hope, strengthening our educational and pastoral mission as a Network, always aligned with the Salesian charism", highlighted Sister Alaíde Deretti, President of the RSB.
