The newly formed Friends of Don Bosco in Croatia recently organized an animation meeting in Zagreb, gathering over 45 animators. Many of these participants have a rich history with the Salesian Family, having received formation and experience in parishes, university chaplaincies, and oratories.
World Confederation President Bryan Magro addressed the gathering, emphasizing the importance of the Past Pupils and Friends of Don Bosco’s identity, values, commitment, and mission. He stressed the need for a synodal approach, inviting all members to work together in building the organization as an integral part of the Salesian Family in Croatia.
Bro. Dominic Nam SDB, the World Delegate for Past Pupils of Don Bosco, highlighted the crucial role of Past Pupils and Friends in the Salesian mission. He encouraged the group to dream big and envision the future of this new organization.
In the coming months, other regional meetings will take place in another three places in Croatia where more regional centres will be formed as part of the National Association.
Meanwhile, the Executive Council of the World Confederation of Past Pupils of Don Bosco convened in Zagreb from December 6th to 8th, 2024. During the meeting, the Council evaluated the recent Extraordinary General World Assembly and the first three years of the current Presidency’s term.
