Campo Grande, Brazil - September 2020 - The Vocation Ministry of the Salesian Province of Campo Grande (BCG) organized the meeting of Salesian aspirants at the "São Vicente" Institute. The young people had the opportunity to place themselves before God with greater intensity, to stand side-by-side with the Salesians and to get to know community life. According to the Provincial Delegate for Youth and Vocation Ministry, Fr Wagner Luís Galvão, these moments of coexistence are precious. “The Salesian religious vocation is lived in community. Therefore, the young aspirant needs to do this exercise of coexistence with the other aspirants, in addition to what has already been done in the communities in which they are inserted. And here too, we formators can concretely monitor how their vocational journey is proceeding, as well as encourage them so that they are ever more willing to go forward.”
