Brazil – Young people prepare for the Macapá Mission
(ANS – Recife) – For about a year now, young people interested in missionary service in Amazonian communities have been meeting. They are university students or young professionals, with some connection to the Salesian family, who are sensitive to the social and pastoral needs of the region. For several months now, the Macapá Mission project has been taking shape, with a two-week stay in the state of Amapá, from 8 to 20 July, involving over 20 young people and adult companions enrolled in the project. At the meeting on 11 March 2026, the agenda included a formation session; Deacon Amós Santiago presented the Fraternity Campaign; updates from the communications committee regarding the Instagram profile @jovensmissionáriosSalesianos; and the organisation of the raffle scheduled for 8 April 2026 as part of a fundraising campaign. During the meeting, it was also agreed to hold online formation sessions in April and May and an in-person retreat on 6 June.
