SPECIAL REPORTS

(ANS - San Lorenzo) - The Salesians understand the oratory as an environment more than a physical place. It is a space that educates to life, a parish that evangelizes, a courtyard where one can meet as friends, and a place of encounter with the Lord in the prayer that comes from daily life. The Salesian Oratory in the mission of San Lorenzo, Peru, was born at the beginning of the new millennium and now already has 20 years of history and shared life.

(ANS - Rodeo del Medio) - The Salesian house in Rodeo del Medio plays an important role in the history of the Argentine national wine industry, and beyond. 120 years after the production of the first bottle of Mass wine, this center that today is academically dependent on the Catholic University of Cuyo Salesiano continues to do the two things it does best: educate young people, including many authorities in the world of oenology, and produce excellent wines.

(ANS - Cali) – Colombia’s guerrilla warfare began in 1952 and has caused over 300,000 deaths, while at the same time fueling the growth of powerful drug cartels. At the “Don Bosco Center” in Cali, however, young people who have known nothing but guerrillas and guerilla warfare are welcomed and accompanied on their path towards rehabilitation.

(ANS – Lima) – "One of the updated expressions of the Salesian charism is to make visible the challenge and beauty of communion. It is Jesus who calls each of us, from our different realities and personal histories, to form in his name a community that manifests God's Trinitarian love to young people". This is what Fr Hugo Orozco, SDB, Councillor for the Interamerica Region, shared in a reflection arising out of the Extraordinary Visit that he is carrying out, on behalf of the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, to the Salesian houses of the Province of Peru. Here is his report:
