One idea echoed throughout the weekend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don Bosco never worked alone.
His mission was always carried out by a community.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through inspiring presentations by Fr. Alejandro Rodr\u00edguez, SDB<\/strong>; Antonella Sinagoga<\/strong>; and Fr. Francisco Cervantes<\/strong>, SDB<\/strong>, we reflected on the importance of collaboration, the Educative-Pastoral Community (EPC), and the Preventive System of reason, religion, and loving-kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were reminded that authentic pastoral leadership does not walk ahead of people, but with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moments of prayer, Lenten reflection, community sharing, and joyful celebration reminded us that the Salesian spirit is built not only through work, but also through friendship and fraternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the vision of St. John Bosco, we continue striving to build communities that are truly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 a home that welcomes
\u2022 a parish that evangelizes
\u2022 a school that prepares for life
\u2022 a playground where young people encounter Christ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are grateful to have shared this experience with CYM leaders from across the province and with the young people who continue to bring life to this mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salesian mission succeeds when leadership becomes a shared mission.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
