Quito, Ecuador - 1895 – From their very arrival in Ecuador, the Salesians have dedicated themselves to work in the indigenous communities of the Shuar, the "fearsome head reducers". In 1963, there were 11 Salesian houses in the middle of the jungle, with several parishes and a group of Salesians delegated to work among the local natives.

(ANS - Campo Grande) - Yesterday, Monday 20 April, at 1.45 pm, Fr Georg Lachnitt, SDB, left for the Father's house, at 81 years of age, after 62 years of religious life and 52 years of priesthood. “Father Lachnitt was a great Salesian, a zealous priest and a missionary in love with the cause of the Indigenous, to whom he dedicated his life. He was faithful to the Church and the Congregation. We praise God for this,” they say from the Provincial House of Brazil-Campo Grande (BCG).

(ANS – Guwahati) – The 7-day youth extravaganza of the “National Youth Tribal Youth Exchange Fest” that brought together 500 youth from all over India drew to a close on 8th March with the valedictory function. The ceremony was held at the Amphitheatre of the “Don Bosco Institute” and began at 10:30 a.m. 

(ANS - Wichimi) - In the Ecuadorian Amazon, the evangelization of the Achuar people began in 1971, with the arrival of Salesian Fr Luis (Luigi) Bolla in the community of Wichimi, who decided to stay there to share the Gospel through the testimony of his life and culture. More than 45 years have passed and the missionary work of the Salesians continues.

(ANS - Rome) - Pope Francis has offered the Amazonian Church, the universal Church and all men of good will the post-synodal document: Querida Amazonía. Below, Fr Martín Lasarte, who participated in the Synod of Bishops on the Pan-Amazon region, indicates only a few of the many significant points.

(ANS - Lima) - Living and accompanying the most needy of Amazonian populations is no longer considered by the Catholic Church as something for a few "dispersed in the jungle", as could have been the case with, or at the time of, Fr Luis (Luigi) Bolla. In one of his speeches to missionaries, Pope Francis said: "Do not be afraid to open new roads", and today these new roads are "Amazonian peoples", forgotten by a society centralized in large cities and by a Church which is not yet missionary.
