The American Salesian Missionary Congress "Entrelazando Caminos" aims to blend the rich Salesian missionary history with critical reflection, in order to promote a more effective cultural evangelisation in America. It is an initiative carried out as part of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the First Salesian Missionary Expedition on American soil, and is organised jointly by the UPS of Ecuador, UNISAL and the Salesian Provinces of Ecuador and Argentina.
