Guatemala City, Guatemala -  July 2023 - The first meeting of the National Salesian Family Delegates for the Central American Province (CAM) was held on 6 July. The meeting was held in Las Charcas, involving Fr Oscar Rodríguez, who celebrates his 50th anniversary of priesthood this year, Fr Miguel Alfaro, Fr Mauricio Dada, Salesian Brother Félix Vallejos and Fr Guido Maroto. The objective of the meeting was to share the experience of animation of the Salesian Family in each country of the Province and to identify the challenges for such animation, taking as reference the documents of the Congregation's Secretariat for the Salesian Family. Likewise, the possibility of resuming regional meetings of the Salesian Family was analysed, the last of which was held in Costa Rica in 2019. This enriching experience seeks to establish a direction for activities and reflections that contribute to fully living the strength of the Salesian charism in the Province.

Lo Cañas, Chile – July 2023 - The second stage of the 'Come and See' vocational journey took place at the San Juan Bosco Theologate in Lo Cañas, from Thursday 29 June to Sunday 2 July. The event, organised by the Salesian Vocation Ministry Team for the Salesian Province of Chile (CIL), brought together young people from different Salesian works in the country and addressed the central theme 'Salesian Religious Life: call and response'. An environment favourable to reflection and vocational discernment was created through formative activities, conversations, liturgical celebrations and recreational moments. The young people had the valuable opportunity to examine their life plans in light of the experience of the disciple who responds to Jesus' call. This meeting proved to be an enriching time where the sense of community was strengthened and young people were encouraged to explore their lives. The participants returned to their respective works in a fraternal and reflective atmosphere,  with renewed impetus and greater commitment in their journey of faith and service.
