The incharge of opening of the event was given to community of Mariara,they reminded us with songs and dances the journey of the congregation in Venezuela.

After lunch, there was a musical band that made us all dance and celebrate with the joy that characterizes our people. We ended the meeting with the Eucharist presided by the Regional Fr.
It was undoubtedly a very touching and endearing celebration, it made us to revitalize our faith and dedication to the Dehonian family. Young people, children, adults, elders, lay and religious, celebrated with great enthusiasm these 70 years.
