Seoul, South Korea - August 2022 - The 17th Provincial Chapter has been held at the provincial house of the Salesian society of Korea from August 15 to 20, 2022. This Provincial Chapter was attended by 32 delegates, 3 observers and 6 novices (with 1 Assistant). The Provincial Chapter began with the liturgical opening prayer and an opening lecture. During the opening liturgy, the delegates watched a video of RM, Fr. Ángel Fernández Artime, explaining the spirit of the 28th General Chapter. And then, Fr. Yang Seung-guk Stefano, who was in charge of the opening lecture as a former provincial of the Korean province, asked the delegates to have a time of ‘pausing,’ ‘looking,’ and ‘listening’ in this Provincial Chapter. He also said that the biggest threat to the Salesians in this era is ‘Lack of Salesian identity’ or ‘Ambiguous identity' and emphasized that ‘Salesian confreres must live in one place, one spirit, and one goal.’ At the first meeting of the Provincial Chapter, which started in earnest, the delegates first had time to examine the implementation of the resolutions of the last ‘16th Provincial Chapter’ and to diagnose the reality of the Korean Province. The Provincial, Choi Won-cheol Timothy, introduced the journey that the Korean province has walked over the past three years and the pending issues that the delegates have to pay special attention to. The whole attendance then listened to the explanation and diagnosis of the delegates of each commission to check if the resolutions of the last 16th Provincial Chapter have been implemented well so far, which interpreted the decisions of the 28th General Chapter according to the reality of the Korean province. The provincial Fr Timothy Choi, above all, invited the delegates to make proposals and plans through the 17th Provincial Chapter, which could incarnate God's will more effectively while carrying out the mission suitable for the reality of this time. In the post-COVID 19 era, the Korean provincial is facing major challenges in various aspects. In the rapid change of dynamic Korean society, Salesian youth ministries also need a lot of change. Accordingly, the Salesian confreres of Korea recognize a lot of urgencies to reconstruct the youth ministry centering on the vital one. This provincial chapter is a time for all confreres to pray that the delegates representing the province will be filled with God's wisdom for this is a conference that deals with many delicate issues. It is also a time to pray that the grace of the Holy Spirit and the intercession of Mary Help of Christians would be with us so that God's providence is able to be accomplished through the Provincial Chapter.
