Upcoming presentations
This year, Ediciones Don Bosco organized different presentations:
- Missionary Memory of the Salesians in Patagonia (Wednesday, May 7 at 19, Sala Ernesto Sábato – Blue Pavilion)
This book is a tribute to those who 150 years ago arrived in Argentina in the first missionary expedition of Salesians sent by the own Don Boscoin 1875, outside Italy. They dreamed and made it possible for the father’s paternal gestures to cross the Atlantic Ocean and reach these lands to bring the good news of God’s unconditional love. It is a publication for a reading in “Travel mode”, accompanying the historical-geographical-spiritual tour of some of the places of the Salesians in Patagonia. In some parts of this itinerary, special attention is paid to the figures of Blessed Laura Vicuña, the Blessed Ceferino Namuncurá and San Artémides Zatti, as well as other pioneers, Salesians and Salesianas, of the first hour.
Speakers: P. Manuel Cayo SDB, Hno. Hugo Vera sdb y P. Néstor Zubeldía SDB
- Santas and Santos to La Criolla (Thursday, May 8 at 17.30 – Ernesto Sábato – Blue Pavilion) Sala)
This book presents the testimony of saints and holy of colonial America, from the fifteenth to the 19th century, touring latitudes that cover from Mexico to the current Argentine territory. Mama Antula, and other saints and saints of Latin America, who accompany her in the ten chapters of this new book, present a lived holiness “to the Creole”, that is, a version of our holiness, typical of those who toured these lands in other centuries and lived challenging and complex times: San Roque González, born in Asunción; Marianita de Jesús, born in Quito; Santa Rosa de Lima and San Martín de Porres, originating in the City of Kings.
Speakers P. Néstor Zubeldía SDB and the special participation of P. Jorge Osterheld
