SPECIAL REPORTS

(ANS - Manaus) - "The Amazon continues to be one of the priorities of the Salesian Congregation. We are determined to continue our pastoral and missionary action, mobilizing all the educational and pastoral resources typical of our charism," said Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major. "The Salesians, with our long missionary experiences, working with indigenous peoples, feel responsible to contributing to the Synod with our own experiences too, with the difficulties we have as Salesians in the field of inculturation of the Salesian charism and with what the Church, through this Synod, has made to create a Church with an indigenous face."

(ANS - Rome) - On 25 August 1969, in Sucúa (Ecuador), the airplane that was carrying Sister Maria Troncatti crashes shortly after take-off on the edge of that forest which for almost half a century was her "home of the heart", the location of her tireless donation among the Shuar people. Sister Maria thus lives her last flight: the one that takes her to Heaven! She was 86 years old at the time, years all spent on a gift of love. She wrote: "Of my religious missionary vocation, I am happier every day!"

(ANS – Yangon) – On the Feast Day of the Assumption of Mary (15 August), Cardinal Charles Bo, SDB, published his passionate and personal reflection on the “Love of God for the people and Nations of Asia”. 

(ANS - Cordoba) - Shorter or longer, with travel or without, with family or friends or with Netflix, holidays in Argentina are almost over. The winter break is a pause to recharge one's batteries and return enthusiastically to the courtyard, the playground, the place that always welcomes. The Salesians and the educators missed the activities, the children, the games and the cries, but one knows that this rest was necessary.
