Chile - Fr Basañes visits Salesian Institute of Concepción
Concepción, Chile - May 2018 - In the context of the Extraordinary Visitation of the Chile Province, Fr Guillermo Basañes, General Councilor for the Missions, went to the Salesian Institute of Concepción, the first Salesian presence in the country, in early May. Fr Basañes shared the Salesian "good day" with the entire college; his words centered on the holiness of Saint Dominic Savio and on his personal experiences, which led him to know other cultures and how holiness is lived in other countries. In the institute's 125 years of existence, thanks to the Salesian Family of Concepción, there have been thousands of young people and families who have participated and experienced the spirituality of Don Bosco. On their visit to meet with Fr Basañes, a book narrating the history of the Salesian presence, written by Fr Alfonso Horn, SDB, was given to him along with a scarf representing all the students of the school.
