(ANS – Quito) – The Salesian community of San José Artesano in La Kennedy (Quito) officially opened Plazoleta Don Bosco, a renovated space that embellishes the entrance to the church and reinforces the Salesian identity of the educative and pastoral community. Upon arriving at this place, visitors are greeted by an imposing sculpture of Don Bosco. It is not the image of the young and dynamic saint we commonly know, but an elderly, wiser Don Bosco, reflecting his years of work and dedication to young people. His face retains a warm and welcoming smile, a sign of the love he always had for young people. At the top of the sculpture complex is the image of the Virgin of the Dream, inspired by the famous dream of the 9-year-old John Bosco. This representation shows Mary as a ‘lady of stately appearance’, dressed in a shining cloak that seems to be covered with bright stars, just as Don Bosco described her in his story. The sculptures were created by the renowned master of Cayambe, Santiago Suárez. The Plazoleta Don Bosc” not only embellishes the institution, but also becomes a place of encounter, reflection and prayer for students, educators and families.
