Gathering of the New York Region’s Salesian Youth Movement
Youths assembled in the chapel of Mary Help of Christians Academy
(North Haledon, N.J. – December 1, 2024) – On Sunday,
November 24, the Youth Ministry Office in the Salesian Province in the Eastern
United States hosted a regional meeting of the Salesian Youth Movement, called DEC
North (Day Everybody Connects). The event attracted over 50 students from three
Salesian high schools in the New York City area: Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.),
Mary Help of Christians Academy (North Haledon, N.J.), and Salesian High School
(New Rochelle, N.Y.), together with 11 young adults from the team that coordinated
the event. The day began with the Mass, followed by a series of engaging
activities and sessions that lasted until the evening, when a concluding
adoration vigil and penitential liturgy took place. Bro. Rafael Vargas, SDB,
and the coordinating team facilitated competitive games, promoting fellowship
among the participants. The young people also engaged in reflections and
discussions in small groups, creating an atmosphere of communion and growth,
and many students also participated in a solidarity collection, donating
clothes for the Midnight Run event organized by Don Bosco Prep.
