(ANS - Rome) - The second seminar for the promotion of the causes of beatification and canonization in the Salesian Family (SF) opened officially on Tuesday 10 April at the center of the Lassallians in Rome. "The priority of our commitment is to favor paths of holiness in the SF and not only to promote paths of beatification and canonization; and, also, the promotion of a cause makes us more sensitive to making ourselves live a life of holiness," explained Fr Francesco Cereda, Vicar of the Rector Major, in his introduction to the seminar.
(ANS - Krakow) – Last Saturday, 7 April, a conference was held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Salesian Seminary in Krakow, known as "Łosiówka" - named after the first owner, Count Łoś; its theme: "Fighting for young people; who is the arbiter (referee) of this match?", part of a cycle of talks entitled: "Dialogues on Education."
(ANS - Krakow) – Entering the final stages of preparations is the XXIX edition of the International Salesian Youth Games taking place from April 28 to May 3 in Krakow, Poland.
(ANS - Madrid) - "Misiones Salesianas", the Salesian Mission Office in Madrid, presented yesterday, 4 April, the documentary "Love", directed by Raúl de la Fuente. The film presents the tragic reality of dozens of underage girls, between 9 and 17 years old, living on the streets of Freetown and forced into prostitution to survive. Something that might seem "normal" in a poor country like Sierra Leone has ceased to be such, thanks to the efforts of the Salesians who, in the 19 months of activity in this specific area, have already taken 149 girls off the streets and away from prostitution, thanks to education.
