Bellflower, United States – March 2025 – The young members of the spiritual team of the Salesian Youth Leadership Conference (SYLC) in the United States gathered from March 14 to 16 at Camp St. Francis in Aptos, California, for a weekend of formation, preparation, and faith, in the joyful spirit of Don Bosco. After a warm welcome, participants attended Mass and later joined in prayer, reflecting on their personal journeys of faith during this Lenten season. The following morning, Fr. Marcos Castillo celebrated the Eucharist, the heart of this Salesian experience. In the afternoon, the youth engaged in discussions on leadership, Salesian presence, and hospitality—essential elements for "creating a home that welcomes, a school that educates, a playground that brings joy, and a church that nurtures faith." The evening was animated by the “Chispa” committee, which led conversations on ethical and social responsibility. On Sunday, after Mass, the participants shared in moments of authentic Salesian joy and reaffirmed their commitment to accompany young people in the Salesian way—with joy, presence, and hearts full of God’s love.
