(ANS - Salto) - This year the Salesian presence in Salto celebrates 100 years. The arrival of the first Salesians from Paysandú was remembered on Monday 8 June. In the Salesian parish church of Our Lady of Carmine there is the tomb of the first Salesian who led the mission and the foundation: Fr Agustín Aschieri Fraschieri (1978-1961), for more than forty years Director and Pastor of the Salesian presence.

(ANS - Bogotà) - On June 9, 2020, the first virtual laboratory on "Creative Storytelling Strategy" began, part of a formation cycle for the Digital Communication of the Salesians of America. The initiative is led by the "St Peter Claver" Province of Colombia-Bogota together with the "Our Lady of Copacabana" Province of Bolivia. Today more than ever, in such an ever-changing world, ongoing formation is an imperative: to keep up with the times and with the proposals of Pope Francis, who in fact dedicated the last World Day of Social Communications to the theme of narration. "So as not to lose our bearings," he says, "we need to make our own the truth contained in good stories."

(ANS - Santiago) – On the morning of 8 June, about 60 people participated in the online meeting of the pastoral coordinators of the Salesian works in Chile, which saw the presentation of the "Letter from Rome: the Gospel of Don Bosco", a theme developed by Fr Pascual Chávez, IX Successor of Don Bosco.
