Philippines - Regional meeting of Provincial Delegates for Mission Animation
Batulao, Philippines - November 2022 - The regional meeting of Provincial Delegates for Mission Animation (DIAM) for the East Asia-Oceania Region was held Nov. 10-12 in Batulao, Philippines. It was the first regional meeting since 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Delegates, led by Fr. Alfred Maravilla, General Councilor for Missions, and Fr. George Menamparampil, collaborator of the Missions Sector, reviewed their role as the province's "missionary sentinel" to keep the missionary spirit alive among Salesians and all members of the Pastoral Education Community. The meeting was also an opportunity to recognize the importance of networking with other Provincial Delegates (Youth Ministry, Formation, Social Communication) and share their experiences on Salesian Missionary Volunteering. Some Provinces in the Region have a long experience in the volunteer movement, while others are just starting it. Also, Fr. Arun Charles from the Cambodia Delegation began his role as Regional Coordinator for Mission Animation. The meeting concluded with some folkloric presentations prepared by the youth of the "Don Bosco Batulao" Youth Center.
