May 23, 2023 - The Don Bosco Latino Ministry (DBLM) is experiencing success with its strategic plan and the attention of Latin American families and their young children. We offer them a variety of programs in order to form and prepare them for life, in accordance with Don Bosco’s Pedagogy. 

We currently have these areas of intervention: EPRE "Miguel Magone" (for ages 12-13); EPRE "Laura Vicuña" (ages 14- 15); EJE "Carlo Acutis" (ages 15- 17) – EJE-YES "Domingo Savio" (ages 18-19), and ESCOGE (for young adults ages 18-35). We work simultaneously with their parents while the young people and their young animators work in similar programs. We have also offered Hearts Present and Joyful to our animators, who completed the last session on Sunday, May 21. On Saturday, May 20, we celebrated Mass in a journey of Latino Family Day and an afternoon enjoying entertainment and refreshments together. 

Every two weeks, there are dynamic meetings of formation for kids and parents. Additionally, in the intervening weeks, the animation team sets up the next formation meetings. 

It is our commitment to establish a sort of Formation Centre, named: "Centro Salesiano de Espiritualidad y Acompañamiento Juvenil" (CSEyAJ).
