A Call to Prayer and Unity
The General Chapter is a key event in the life of the Salesian Congregation, held every six years. It is a time of reflection, renewal, and planning for the future of Don Bosco’s mission. The 29th General Chapter brings together Salesians from across the globe to discern the Congregation’s response to the evolving needs of young people and the Church.
All members of the Salesian Family are encouraged to join the live stream, uniting in prayer and celebration during this significant moment for the Congregation. There are great hopes and expectations that GC29 will bear abundant fruit for the Salesian mission and the Church.
