This year, the FIO brought together 11 groups from the MEG Province, including the oratories in Nuevo Laredo; Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua; Nogales, Sonora; Tijuana, B.C.; Mexicali, B.C.; San Luis Potosí, San Luis Potosí; León, Guanajuato; Sahuayo, Michoacán; Tlaquepaque, Jalisco; the prenovitiate in Irapuato, Guanajuato; and Hermosillo, an oratory assisted by Salesian Cooperators.<\/p>\n
The event began on Thursday afternoon with a civic ceremony, attended by the Bishop of Mexicali, Enrique Sánchez; Ms María Desiree Núñez, representing the Mayor; the Carmona family, representing the patronage; Fr Agustín Novoa, Coordinator of the Oratories of the MEG Province; and Fr Luis Miguel García, Rector of the Salesian work in Mexicali. Following a brief message from each of them, the inauguration continued with the lighting of the brazier; a cultural interlude featuring mariachi music and the “dance of the lions”; the presentation of each delegation; and the opening address by Fr Francisco Cervantes, MEG Provincial.<\/p>\n
The sporting events took place on Friday and Saturday. On Friday afternoon, a “march of joy” was held near the oratory, concluding with adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. On Saturday afternoon, the participating delegations presented artistic and cultural performances.<\/p>\n
On the final day, the closing Mass was celebrated, presided over by Fr Agapito Francisco Espinoza, Provincial Delegate for Youth Ministry. This was followed by the finals in each category.<\/p>\n
The Don Bosco Trophy, awarded to the delegation that stood out for its fraternal participation, was presented to the Nogales delegation.<\/p>\n
