Munich, Germany - November 2019 - From 15 to 17 November, the representatives of the aspirantates and prenovitiates of the Central and Northern Europe Region gathered for a meeting of formation and coordination. At the same time, the aspirants and candidates preparing for next year's novitiate from the Provinces of Croatia, Austria and Germany and of the Vice Province of Malta met for the first time. During the meetings of the formators, the prenovices visited the formation center of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Benediktbeuern, where they learned various aspects of the activities carried out in the field of sustainability and responsibility for Creation. Aspirants and prenovices agreed that the exchange on their vocational journey across country borders and community experience in prayer are things that encourage and help personal growth.
