SPECIAL REPORTS

(ANS - Maputo) - The journey of Pope Francis to Mozambique has been over for a few days now, but the words spoken and the gestures made continue to have an echo that does not fade away. "The evangelical footsteps of Pope Francis have marked Mozambican soil and his words will resonate for a long time to express the consolation and the truth that we needed," says a missionary volunteer.

(ANS - Cordoba) - Pope Francis speaks of the parish as a "community of communities", an invitation and a challenge to welcome everyone without distinction, in the name of a Church with open doors. In the last days of August and until September 1, the parishes of the Province of Northern Argentina (ARN) met in Cabana, Cordoba, to share the life and dreams of their communities. As stated in the Salesian Youth Ministry Framework, the "Parish is an experience".

(ANS – Thibaw) – The young vice province of Mary Help of Christians of Myanmar (established 2004) decided, during the Provincial Chapter 2019, to reshape the Aspirantate and Prenovitiate stages of initial formation. At present, there are 24 candidates (16 in first year, 8 in second year) in Thibaw Don Bosco Aspirantate, Hsipaw, accompanied by 6 Salesians (five priests and one practical trainee). Although the social situation around Thibaw has not been very peaceful this year, the Aspirantate program is going well.

(ANS – Rome) – The Volunteers with Don Bosco (CDB) are in a festive mood. The Institute, part of the Salesian Family from its beginning, is celebrating its Silver Jubilee: Twenty-five years for God and for the world. God has done great deeds in this Institute from the first years in which the desire of a handful of men from different parts of the world to live their Baptism in the world in a radical way through consecrated life in a Salesian style materialized in the hands of Fr Egidio Viganò, until today when they are reflecting on the expansion of the Institute in so many parts of the world.
