(ANS – São Paulo) – On 28 March 2026, the retreat for Salesian Cooperators of the Capital and Coastal Region was held in Campos Elíseos, São Paulo – SP, to mark the 150th anniversary of the group founded by Don Bosco. Coordinated by Renato Penna, and attended by the Provincial Delegate for Formation, Fr Cássio Rodrigo de Oliveira, the Sacred Heart of Jesus Local Centre welcomed participants with a programme of reflection, prayer and sharing. The day of spirituality was enriched by Mass presided over by the Superior of the Salesian Province of São Paulo Brazil (BSP), Fr Alexandre Luís de Oliveira. The gathering also benefited from the contribution of other Salesians during moments of introspection and formation, such as Fr Jean de Castro Domingos, Fr João Gabriel Galhotti Pinto and Fr Cássio Rodrigo de Oliveira.
