São Carlos, Brazil – January 2026 – From January 20 to 24, 21 high school students with a budding vocational interest took part in the meeting “Journey with Don Bosco,” organized by the Salesian Vocational Animation Service in São Carlos (SP). Inspired by the Rector Major’s 2026 Strenna, participants were divided into three groups: Don Bosco, Dominic Savio, and Artemide Zatti. The program included daily Mass, team-building activities, sports, cooperative challenges, a visit to the Salesian community of Piracicaba, moments for confession, vocational sharing, and the presentation of the Strenna video. The closing ceremony took place on January 24. The experience allowed the young participants to grow through service, prayer, and fraternity, strengthening their vocational discernment within Don Bosco’s charism.
