Carisolo (Italy). From 17 to 20 July 2025, some families, around 100 people in total, gathered at Casa Alpina Salesiana Don Bosco in Carisolo, in the province of Trento, to participate in a formation weekend promoted by the Salesian Cooperators (SSCC) of Lombardy family sector on the topic: Senza di TE…(non) SO-STARE“. Growing in caring for relational and meaningful needs) in the person, in the marital and parental couple.
The theme has touched deep chords, forming families in the care and improvement of relationships, through couples workshops led by Claudia Magliocchetti and Maurizio Maltese (married couples and psychologists, psychotherapists, and formators), and by Claudia Uggeri and Marco Diella (young spouses, psychologists and formators).
In the splendid panorama of the Dolomites, sharing prayer and spaces to go deep into friendship, into a beautiful family bond between Salesians and FMA present, the strength of walking together in the spirit of the Salesian Charism has been reconfirmed. The experience was led by lay people, some Daughters of Mary Help of Christians: Sister Carla Carelli, Delegate of the Holy Family Lombardy Province (ILO) for the SSCC; Sister Marisa Canobbio, Provincial Vicar; Sister Lucrecia Uribe, World Delegate for the ASSCC; and by Fr. Erino Leoni, SDB, Vicar of the Lombardy-Emilian Province (ILE).
For children and young people, entertainment was provided by young people who offered engaging workshops to create small manual crafts, games, and competitions that encouraged interaction, in addition to the many moments spent together with their parents.
Carisolo 2025 was a real success! Joy and gratitude still resonate for this fifth edition. Learning to find pleasure in “stopping” as families and couples was a wonderful workout that brings the pleasure of living with more awareness and calm than in everyday life.
