Melbourne, Australia (Dec 2023).  The year 2023 marked the renewed active participation of the Association of Salesian Cooperators in Australia in the communication loop of the region.  On reaching out to the region communication platform, current Provincial Coordinator and former EAO World Councillor Juan Carlos Escobar graciously gave an update on the Salesian Cooperators in Australia Province where accordingly there are new recruits who have shown interest in the association and are now undergoing initial formation primarily about the Project of Apostolic Life (PAL) and the corresponding pillars  — to know,  how to do, how to be, to live in communication – that is towards the individual formation on Human, Salesian and Christian dimensions.  Juan Carlos and wife Carmen, also a Salesian Cooperator, were present in the Vatican during the enrolment of Rector Major to the College of Cardinals on September 30, 2023.
