This year’s celebration of this Solemnity was uniquely joyful for our Province, its Salesian Family, and the Association of Salesian Cooperators.

On May 24th, six new Cooperators made their Promise during the MHC Bilingual Mass celebrated at St. Dominic Savio Parish in Bellflower and presided by Fr, Ted Montemayor, SDB Provincial of USA-West.   These candidates had completed their two-year formation under Fr, Avelino Lorenzo and Fr. Fabian Cardenas.  The new Cooperators are part of the St. Dominic Savio Spanish Center which has 12 members.
