Brazil - Salesian Missionary Action Week inthe Province of São Paulo brings together 400 young people in 7 cities
São Paulo, Brazil - January 2025 - A week of Salesian Missionary Action mobilised around 400 young people from the Missionary Animation Group (GAM) from 4 to 12 January, experieincing a mission of evangelisation and spreading the Salesian charism in the different communities. The young people were divided into seven locations, in Rio Claro, Campos Elíseos, Barueri, Francisco Morato, Osasco, Limeira and even Leopoldina (MG). Accompanied by 40 Salesians, including Salesians in formation and professed, they devoted time and energy to missionary activitie, which included visits to families, liturgical animations, moments of prayer and interaction with local communities. For many participants, the missionary experience was transformative. ‘Trusting in the signs God gives us, through the faith we have in him, and believing that with the charism and collaboration we can make the mission bear fruit in many hearts,’ said Tatiana, a member of the GAM Lapa coordination team in Barueri. Some groups had the privilege of carrying out the mission together, facilitating the exchange of experiences and strengthening the bonds of brotherhood. The experience strengthened the missionary spirit and reinforced the commitment to be a sign of God's love in the world, inspired by Don Bosco, in a true witness of faith and service, reaffirming the propulsive role of young people in the evangelising mission of the Salesian Family.
