Living Valdocco Today

Living Valdocco Today


After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the youth ministry office of the province of the Eastern United States and Canada organized the first retreat for Salesian youth leaders from all 9 SDB and FMA schools in the province at the Marian Shrine at Haverstraw, N.Y. The event involved 88 participants, including accompanying adults and 14 youth team members. The retreat was held March 4-10 with the goal of having student leaders experience a journey through Valdocco, where Don Bosco founded his first work among the young people of Turin. The retreat took the participants through what it means to be “Valdocco today” and also gave them the skills and knowledge on how to improve the Valdocco experience in their own schools.
