(ANS - Zabrze) - It is a beautiful Jubilee because it is still on, the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Salesian School of Zabrze, in the Province of Poland-Cracow (PLS), which in its program includes three main points: the Jubilee Gala Evening, the solemn anniversary Eucharist and the "Family Picnic."

(ANS - Aleppo) - In force since the outbreak of the conflict 12 years ago, the international sanctions against the Syrian government severely limit the access and circulation of the country's material and financial resources. Here lies the paradox that the Salesians of Syria highlight in this dramatic moment following the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria; international solidarity has mobilized, but does not always find the way to reach the ultimate recipients. This situation, however, brings out the ability of the Syrians to provide for themselves, at least in the first instance, for the current emergency.

(ANS - Lima) - Ten years have passed since the death of Fr. Luis (Luigi) Bolla, an Italian Salesian, missionary among the indigenous people of Ecuador and Peru, now a Servant of God. Yet, those who knew him still remain fascinated by his figure, bewitched by his style, his presence, his words, his narratives, his songs, and even more, captivated by his way of being with God.

(ANS - Turin) - From February 1 to 3, 2023, the Provincial Delegates for Missionary Animation (DIAM) of the Salesian Africa-Madagascar Region gathered for their annual meeting in Valdocco, at the Salesian Motherhouse, to reflect on the situation of missionary animation in various Provinces and Vice-Provinces. The Regional Coordinator for Missionary Animation, Fr. Privat Fouda, animated the meeting with the collaboration of the Missions Sector team. Everyone appreciated that the common path has been clearly progressing; at the same time, challenges remain, especially regarding missionary formation, the accompaniment of Salesian youth, and the involvement of local communities.

(ANS - Aleppo) - A nightmare scenario is gradually unfolding following the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. The already heavy toll in terms of lives and destruction is worsening with each passing hour and day, and the needs of the survivors are innumerable. From Syria, the Middle East Provincial, Fr. Alejandro León, sent a brief update on the efforts of the Salesians in Aleppo and especially to launch an appeal for closeness, prayer and solidarity with the people tried by yet another humanitarian catastrophe.
