Salesian Congregation’s Position Paper on Integral Ecology
(ANS – Rome – September 7, 2022) – On the occasion of the Season of Creation 2022, the period from September 1 to October 4 dedicated to the care of creation, we are pleased to share with you the Salesian Congregation’s Position Paper on Integral Ecology. You will find it at this link in 5 languages.
It is a document
prepared by the Salesian Youth Ministry Department and a group of experts. The
Youth Pastoral Department takes as one of its objectives the animation of this
aspect in the Congregation. It is a reflection which on the one hand sanctions
the position of the Salesians of Don Bosco within the path traced out by the
Catholic Church, and on the other hand offers all Salesian provinces concrete
tools to implement ecological conversion together.
Introducing the
document is Emanuela Chiang of the Youth Ministry Department-Integral Ecology:
“We propose that
you also review the video of the Rector Major inviting the whole Salesian
Family to join in this journey, and I invite you to organize moments of
reflection based on these two instruments (video and positioning) with your
community around these themes:
Italian - Spanish - English - French - Portuguese
As a province /
community / school-CFP / group of animators / youth center / parish /...
1. have we already
begun our journey of ecological conversion?
2. how do we plan
to take it forward in our programming?
3. how can we
involve the different realities that revolve around our community in this
journey so that it is synodal?
To share your
reflections, questions, proposals, please write to: echiang@sdb.org
If, on the other
hand, you have already started your journey, I invite you to share one or two
high-definition photos of the initiatives you are carrying out at this time,
with a brief explanation: the best photos will be published on the Facebook and Instagram page of the Youth Ministry Department,
and the five best photos will be the subject of a publication.
Please send your
photos by October 4 to: echiang@sdb.org
Thank you very much
for your collaboration and your commitment to the care of our common home.
Happy Season of Creation.
