At the end of the meeting, Fr. Guevara thanked them for their support and the opportunity to meet the Provincial, Fr. José Aníbal Mendonça, the Provincial Vicar, Fr. João Chaves and Fr. António Marcelino from the team preparing the congress. “These are days of fraternity, of preparation, of knowledge, accompanied at all times by the hand of Mary. I believe we are on the right track to prepare a beautiful experience of faith, prayer and encounter for all members of the Salesian Family,” he said. The International Congress of Mary Help of Christians, a Marian event, that takes place every four years, will see the participation of the Rector Major and will take place from 29th August to 1st September 2024 in Fatima. The title chosen for this event will be “I will give you the teacher”, recalling Don Bosco’s dream, when he was nine (1824) whose 200th anniversary will be celebrated in 2024.
