Cuban Salesian Cooperators Meet in Miami

Cuban Salesian Cooperators Meet in Miami


(ANS - Miami – Feb. 1, 2024)
- On Sunday, January 28, in view of the feast of Don Bosco, 14 Cuban Salesian Cooperators residing in Miami met for the first time. They had belonged to the local centers of Santa Clara, Camagüey, and Havana. The meeting, organized by Alejandro Satorre, took place at the house of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in Miami.

After celebrating the Eucharist, they shared food, anecdotes, songs, and laughter, all in a fraternal atmosphere, with the joy of meeting up again after so many years. Young people gathered with them, many of whom were born in the U.S. For them it was the first Salesian meeting, as well as for other people who were part of the Salesian communities in Cuba, all accompanied by their families.

Many of these Salesian Cooperators have been living in Miami for years, from where they support the Cooperators in Cuba. More than 50 Salesian Cooperators live outside Cuba; about 80 are active on the island in the different local centers. The experience of seeing each other again and sharing the Salesian vocation has been so uplifting that they already plan to meet in May on the occasion of the feast of Mary Help of Christians.
