Brazil – Meeting of Oratories from the Salesian Province of Recife
(ANS – Natal) – The Salesian Province of St Aloysius Gonzaga, in collaboration with Fr Júnior Lopes (rector) and his educational community, and with the support of the Salesian Network of Brazil, brought together young animators from 25 daily and holiday oratories within its missionary territory from 24 to 26 April 2026, at the Salesian St Joseph College in Natal (RN). Under the central theme “Oratory: a welcoming home”, the meeting, led by the Provincial Coordinator, Fr Manoel Messias, offered an intense exchange of experiences, prayer, fellowship and learning. One of the highlights was the attentive listening to the various participants, which allowed for the sharing of challenges and successes. Under the guidance of Fr Josemar Abel, the groups discussed “New practices of oratory life”, seeking to update methods for attracting and evangelising young people. The dialogue led to the formulation of common objectives for the development of the Provincial Project for Oratories.
