Meeting of the ‘Atlantic sub-Region’
Between August 3rd and August 8th 2003, Salesians from four provinces met in the Salesian University Hostel at Limerick University in Ireland. Priests and brothers in the 40-60 age range from North Belgium (BEN), Holland (OLA), Ireland (IRL) and Great Britain (GBR) were invited to share their experiences of Vocation, Salesian Spirituality and Salesian Community - and enjoy the legendary hospitality and scenery of the Emerald Isle.

The Salesian Student Hostel, with the Milford Salesian Parish Church.
In small groups we shared and illustrated features of our vocation stories.
...and presented them to the full group in the context of evening prayer.
There was plenty of time to relax and share informally...
...and to enjoy the ‘crac’ at mealtimes.
There was a cultural visit to Killarney and part of the Ring of Kerry. Click here! |
