From 7 to 10 May, the Fraterna Domus in Sacrofano, Rome, will host the 6th World Congress of the Association of Salesian Cooperators, coinciding with the celebration of our 150th anniversary on Saturday, 9 May.

The theme, “Being leaven to bear fruit”, invites us to look ahead with hope and to renew our commitment to being evangelical leaven, in the Salesian spirit, within today’s world.

The four‑day programme traces a journey that begins with our origins, continues with an analysis of the Association, the Salesian Family, the Church and the contemporary world, and opens toward a hopeful vision of the future we are called to build.

Nearly 400 participants from the five continents and more than 100 local provinces will take part in the Congress.
