During the months of June through August, the Eastern United States Province joyfully celebrated the incorporation of 11 new Salesian Cooperators: one in Tampa, Florida; three in Ramsey, New Jersey; and seven in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Each celebration was an opportunity to thank God for the gift of vocation and for those who generously choose to commit themselves to Don Bosco’s mission.

The celebrations brought together members of the Salesian Family, relatives, friends, parishioners and students, who joyfully and warmly accompanied the new Salesian Cooperators making their Promise in this important step of their vocational journey.

After each celebration, the communities shared moments of fraternity, strengthening the bonds that unite those who live and promote the Salesian spirit.
