(ANS – Ayagualo) – On 7 and 8 March, 120 Salesian Cooperators from five local centres gathered, divided into two sessions, at the Sacred Heart retreat house in Ayagualo for their annual r, a privileged moment of encounter with God, personal reflection and spiritual renewal in an atmosphere of fraternity and communion. Under the motto ‘Believers, free to serve,’ participants were invited to strengthen their vocational identity and apostolic commitment to the Salesian mission. This experience was the second retreat for Salesian Cooperators, organised by the National Council of El Salvador, coordinated by David Aguilar, Salesian Cooperator and National Councillor for Ongoing Formation, with the valuable support of the local councillors for Ongoing Formation.
