SPECIAL REPORTS

(ANS - Buenos Aires) – Ten, the number of Salesians who in 1875 first received the missionary crucifix from Don Bosco. Arriving in Buenos Aires, they were entrusted with the care of a newly built church dedicated to the "Mater Misericordiae", which immediately became the reference point for emigrants in Argentina, and the "Marian base" from which the Spiritual Sons of Don Bosco started the evangelization of Patagonia. Today that church, currently being restored, is just one of the countless signs of Salesian flourishing in the area of ​​the Argentine capital.

(ANS - Cordoba) – While you're reading this article, think of the pleasant situations you've lived with your friends: a beer shared, a chat full of jokes, a moment of silence in a park ... There are so many that I hope you don't remember them all! Today, perhaps, friendship is very different from what it was before because there are the constraints proper to the era of social networks. Hence, a meeting in the park has now become a conversation on WhatsApp until dawn, a story on Instagram is a message for one's birthday, a direct message on Twitter is to notify you of something ... They are the new languages ​​of friendship.

(ANS - Rome) - In many Salesian houses and centers throughout Italy, summer is the busiest time with the greatest number of activities and appealing proposals for young people. Typically it is the time of "Estate Ragazzi" or "GrEst", summer camps where young animators put themselves at the service of even younger children. To foster the growth of young adolescents, the Salesian Provinces and Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, together with members of the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM), also carry out provincial summer camps for the formation of those children who wish to become Salesian animators.

(ANS - San Benigno Canavese) - On 5 July the Salesian community of San Benigno Canavese celebrated its 140th anniversary. The history of this Salesian site, which is just twenty kilometers from Turin, dates back to the Congregation's origins and refers to the times of the first foundations started by Don Bosco himself.
