On 31 July, eight Pre-Promise aspirants from the St Dominic Savio Local Centre in Bellflower, California (USA West Province), participated in a spiritual retreat in preparation for the Promise they will make in September.

The retreat was held at Saint Dominic Savio Church, where the participants experienced a time of prayer, reflection, and fraternity, deepening their understanding of the meaning of their vocational commitment as Salesian Cooperators.

The retreat was led by Fr Alejandro Rodríguez, who, through his reflections and activities, encouraged the aspirants to strengthen their relationship with God and renew their desire to live the charism of Don Bosco faithfully in the service of young people.
