(ANS – Rome) – That internationality and multiculturalism are distinctive features of the Salesian Congregation today is certainly not new. Indeed, several times the Rector Major has said that these are prophetic traits and destined to grow in the global face of Don Bosco's work. Therefore, the human and religious journey of Fr Jean Marie Karam, another of the missionaries of the 154th Salesian Missionary Expedition is not surprising: Lebanese by birth, with a Salesian formation carried out entirely in Italy, and already a missionary for two years in the Sudan Delegation belonging to the East Africa Province (AFE).

(ANS – Rome) – The emotions of the 154th Salesian Missionary Expedition are still fresh in the hearts of those who have received the Missionary Cross from the hands of the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime: like the young Salesian in formation, Shivraj Bhuriya, of Indian origin, destined to work in the heart of Europe, in the "Saints Cyril and Methodius" Province of Slovenia (SLO).

(ANS – Rome) – The first missionary we present in the aftermath of the 154th Salesian Missionary Expedition is the Vietnamese John Baptist Nguyen Viet Duc, who after his licentiate in Philosophy will be a missionary in Romania.
