ADMA – CHILDREN AND YOUNGASSOCIATION OF MARY HELP OF CHRISTIANS – SAN PAOLO

In an atmosphere of joy and relaxation, the members of ADMA Children and ADMA Youth from the Parish of the Holy Family, in the city of São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil, met for their monthly formation with dedication and great love for Mary Help of Christians.

They get the opportunity to build up their unity in the Salesian spirit, sharing moments of youth dynamism, living and witnessing holiness with commitment and animation. They try to grow together in the Salesian charism which is based on the ‘two columns’ dreamt of by Don Bosco: The Eucharist and Mary Help of Christians.

The members are invited to live and witness their love for Mary Help of Christians in their daily life, in the places where they study, play, in their families and where they spend their free time.

The formative programmes are divided according to age groups. The ADMA Children propose a monthly meeting with recreational activities, films on Salesian and Christian themes, with interactive activities in a language which is easy to understand, and end the meeting always with fraternal snacks.

The ADMA Youth proposes a path of growth for adolescents and young people and follows the themes proposed in the ADMA Regulations, the Charter of Charismatic Identity of the Salesian Family, the annual Strenna of the Rector Major presented during the meetings with an appropriate musical and participative language. They are accompanied by the Spiritual Animator, Fr Maurício Miranda, the Salesian seminarians and the ADMA adults from the local presence.
