BRAZIL - INAUGURATION OF THE NEW ORATORY “ST. JOSEPH” AT RESENDE: A PLACE OF WELCOME, FRIENDSHIP, CATECHESIS AND HOPE

On 28th September, the opening of the ‘festive oratory of St. Joseph’ was held at the ‘Centro Educativo Esperança do Futuro’, in the Beira Rio neighbourhood of Resende. Salesians, young people from the Salesian Youth Movement, Salesian Cooperators and members of the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA) were present for the occasion. This oratory marked the beginning of a project that aims to provide a welcoming space where education, faith and fun go hand in hand. The ‘San Giuseppe’ oratory was born, in fact, with the commitment of also making it a meeting and training place for families, uniting the generations around the same goal: to build a more just and united future.
