One part took place both in person and by Zoom, and a second part was held in the various local centers. 40+ people assembled in person at Ramsey, including Cooperators, Salesians, and young people. Others participated online.<\/p>\n<p>The shared in-person\/online portion included the ASC&rsquo;s sesquicentennial prayer, a bilingual Rosary, a witness talk by Cooperator Joanne Fusaro, a few words from Fr. Dominic Tran, SDB provincial, the renewal of the Cooperator promise, and a midday &ldquo;good night&rdquo; from Cooperator Bernie Pontillo.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Fusaro spoke about prayer in her own life, particularly in relation to a serious surgery she had in November, on her surrender to God and the peace that brought her, on the blessing that our vocation is.<\/p>\n<p>With the digital portion of the program concluded, each center was free to continue the celebration locally.
