02 April 2025

San Cataldo, Italy – March 2025 – The Salesian Cooperators of Sicily had an amazing day filled with friendship, thinking, and being dedicated to their faith. Over 150 people from 43 different local SSCC centres came together at the San Luigi Oratory in San Cataldo. The SSCC Provincial Council had organized this event.

A key moment at the event was a reflection led by Sr. Mariella, who offered deep insights into the educational and pastoral mission of Salesian Cooperators today. Discussions also introduced the "Communities of Practice" initiative, aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of apostolic activities. Later, Matilde, Giulia, and Francesca shared their experiences in the "Communicating 360°" formation program, demonstrating how communication can be a powerful tool for spreading Salesian values with creativity and impact.

The highlight of the day was the Eucharistic celebration presided over by Fr. Carmelo Umana, Provincial Delegate for SSCC. A solidarity initiative was also launched, raising funds for Salesian missions in Senegal, specifically for the Don Bosco 2000 Association, which is building a medical dispensary to provide healthcare services.

Concluding the day, Regional Coordinator Simone Battaglia emphasized the importance of shared commitment and responsibility in continuing the Salesian mission with passion and dedication.
