Bolivia – First Provincial meeting to plan Youth Ministry for 2026 begins
Cochabamba, Bolivia – January 2026 – The annual meeting of the Provincial Youth Ministry team began on 20 January at the headquarters of the Salesian Province of Bolivia (BOL). Over two days, about 25 participants, including Salesians and lay people, gathered to plan the year’s work. The morning began with a prayer led by Fr Darwin Jiménez and the official opening by the Provincial, Fr Líder Justiniano. A key moment was the reflection on the Rector Major’s Strenna for 2026: ‘Do whatever he tells you,’ presented by Fr Pepe Gallo, followed by a group discernment session using the synodal methodology of ‘Conversing in the Spirit.’ The first part of the day ended with the Eucharist presided over by the Provincial, and the meeting continued in the afternoon, planning the activities for the following day.
