(Los Angeles, California) – The 2026 Religious Education Congress will be held February 19–22 at the Anaheim Convention Center under the theme “Educate with the Heart, Journey with the Young!” As Salesians, we are excited to embody this theme through our presence at the Salesians of Don Bosco – Salesian Family Booths (444, 446, 448, 450), where we will share the educational vision of St. John Bosco with all who stop by.

Beginning on February 19 (Setup & Youth Day) and continuing through February 20, 21, and 22 (Conferences & Closing), our booth area will be a welcoming space for educators, catechists, youth ministers, parents, and all who accompany young people.

Visitors will find opportunities for meaningful conversation and discover practical resources that make Don Bosco’s educational spirituality accessible and applicable in today’s classrooms, parishes, and homes. A wide selection of books in English and Spanish will be available, along with tools to help educators and families reflect on and strengthen how they live the Preventive System in daily life. Whether you are new to the Salesian charism or have journeyed with Don Bosco for years, you will find resources and inspiration to support you in accompanying the young.

The Salesian Sisters will sponsor a booth extension highlighting Salesian Youth Spirituality, sharing stories of Salesian saints and inviting visitors to entrust their prayer intentions to Mary Help of Christians. The Salesian Cooperators will also host a booth extension, engaging guests with interactive activities and offering resources for living the Preventive System in everyday life and discerning one’s vocation in the Church and the world.

If you are attending the RE Congress, we warmly invite you to stop by Booths 444, 446, 448, and 450. Come meet us, pray with us, explore resources, and discover how you can educate with the heart and journey with the young.

And if you feel called to do more, we would love to connect with you about volunteering or partnering with the Salesian Family in your local ministry. The young need witnesses, mentors, and joyful educators today more than ever—come see how you can be part of the mission.

We can’t wait to welcome you!
