Santiago, Chile - 7 August 2021 - Under the motto "With an open house, let's renew the Kairos", more than 80 young animators from the different communities of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) of Chile met online on Saturday 7 August to live the sixth edition of the Salesian Spirituality Day. It centered on the document of the Ecclesial Assembly of Latin America and the Caribbean. The day included a space for prayer led by the Salesian aspirantate and pre-novitiate community, followed by a presentation of the theme and finally by work in small groups, with the young participants debating on two of the 14 themes proposed by the ecclesial assembly, such as: violence in society, post-pandemic poverty, young people as social actors and managers of culture, women and their participation in society and in the Church ... The day ended with a plenary assembly to share what emerged in the individual groups. They plan to draw up a final document with recommendations to be sent to the Latin American Ecclesial Assembly to be held next November.

(ANS - Rome) - In its intent to promote animation, debate, sharing and, ultimately, the leading role of young people who frequent the environments of the Salesian Family, the August monthly video of the "CaglieroLIFE" feature column, promoted by the Salesian Congregation's Missions Sector, focuses on a very compelling theme: how to build a Church that welcomes? And who can do it?

(ANS – New Delhi) – National Youth Sunday is a day observed by the Church in India as an opportunity to celebrate young people, recognise young people as a gift in the Church and affirm their contribution to the Church and those who collaborate with them.

(ANS – Roma) – “Through the Sacrament of Baptism, all Christians are part of the people of God and share in the mission of the Church. Every lay person together with consecrated women and men and ordained ministers is co-responsible for the Church’s mission,” says Fr Alfred Maravilla, SDB, General Councilor for the Missions, in his message for the August missionary magazine “Cagliero 11”. Below we report his reflection on the role of the laity in the Church.
