During the stay in Valdocco, the team had the opportunity to meet Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major of the Salesians, and the members of the General Council of the Congregation,and spent time in a climate of fraternity and sharing of the Salesian charism which fostered the reflection and work of the group.
The meeting of specialists also took place on the day of the anniversary of Saint Francis de Sales, patron saint of journalists and great communicator, chosen by Don Bosco as a model and from which the name of the Congregation derives. His feast was celebrated with a solemn Mass presided over by the Rector Major in the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians, on the evening of 24 January.
