SPECIAL REPORTS
(ANS - San Severo) - “Religion is the interpenetration of the needs of others”; “What is our altar? The Tabernacle of the Temple and the hand of the poor”. These are two expressions of Fr Felice Canelli, priest of the diocese of San Severo (Foggia, Italy) and Salesian Cooperator, today recognized by the Church as a Servant of God. They are two mottos that he himself lived first: for almost a century (1880-1977), moved by his faith in Jesus, he was the "universal brother" - using an expression of Pope Francis - of many poor, young, abandoned people who resorted to him.
(ANS - Perugia) - In 2022 the first hundred years since the arrival of the Salesians in Perugia will be celebrated. A real "jubilee", as Fr Wieslaw Dec explains, a Salesian of Polish origin who has lived in Perugia for three years. “Our life is made up of rhythms, cycles, the alternation of ordinary days, ordinary time with holidays. I believe it is necessary to celebrate our anniversaries. For this reason, we started thinking about this centenary three years in advance, planning many initiatives to remember and show gratitude to God for what we have been able to do in the city of Perugia.”
(ANS - Buenos Aires) - The teaching of programming is no longer an exclusive of secondary or technical education. Why not bring children closer to an increasingly popular instrument?
(ANS - Turin) - One hundred years ago, on 12 March 1921, Gianni Agnelli was born in Turin, a leading figure in Italian public life throughout the twentieth century. The Salesians' "Edoardo Agnelli International Institute" is closely linked to his family: it takes its name from his father, who tragically died in a plane crash in 1935, when his son Gianni was just 14 years old.
