The Salesians of Don Bosco in the ANN Province have officially commenced the consultation process to appoint a new Provincial. This follows the election of the former Provincial, Rev. Fr. Jorge Mario Crisafulli, as General Councillor for Missions in Rome.<\/p>\n

Rev. Fr. Gianni Rolandi is overseeing the consultation process across the Province.<\/p>\n

The first session was on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at the Don Bosco Provincial House in Iju, gathering Salesian confreres from Lagos, Ijebu-Ode, and the diaspora.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The process began with the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, led by Fr. Rolandi. Afterwards, in the conference hall, he outlined the consultation procedure.<\/p>\n

Participants then broke into smaller groups to reflect on the current state of the Province, identify pressing challenges, and discuss the desired profile of the next Provincial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The outcomes of these discussions will be synthesised and shared in a general assembly.<\/p>\n

The consultation will continue in other key Salesian communities, including Ibadan, Onitsha, and Abuja.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This process marks a significant period of reflection and prayer, as the Salesian family seeks divine guidance in selecting a leader who will guide the ANN Province with wisdom, vision, and purpose.<\/p>\n
