Peru - Provincial Chapter of the Salesians: "Let us continue to walk in our mission!"
Lima, Peru - September 2022 - From September 11 to 17, the Salesians of Peru celebrated their Provincial Chapter at the Salesian Retreat House "Tabor." It was a time of listening and discernment, in which 32 Salesian chapter members and 12 lay people from the different areas of the province renewed their commitment and fidelity to the Salesian mission. "This Chapter was lived with great hope, taking on the new challenges of these times. We want to embrace the 28th General Chapter, which in its eight priorities marks a path for us," said Fr. Manuel Cayo, Superior of the PER Province. Likewise, as committed Salesians, we are working on the four proposals that came out of the visit of Fr. Hugo Orozco, Councilor for the Inter-American Region:
- Instilling a vocational culture among the Salesians of Peru.
- How to strengthen our joint mission with the laity.
- How to strengthen our quality in our fraternal relationships.
- To continue walking in the redesign of our mission.
In addition to all this, the following themes and processes were synodically elaborated:
- Application and projection of the 28th General Chapter.
- Presentation of the Provincial Organic Project at the end of its updating process.
- Presentation of the Provincial Pastoral Educational Project (2022-2027) at the end of its updating process.
- Deepening and definition of the Animation and Governance Plan (2022-2027), which includes the reconfiguration of the Salesian presence in Peru.
