Salesian Priest

Born in December 1955, Fr. Cameroni met the Salesians while attending the Salesian college in Vendrogno, his homeland. Here, in an environment of great spiritual and vocational proposal (40 Salesian vocations flourished from the house of Vendrogno), Fr. Cameroni met the Salesian Cooperator, Servant of God, Attilio Giordani.

On September 12, 1976, he professed as a Salesian of Don Bosco, and on June 23, 1984, he was ordained a priest in Arese. In the same year he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Theology, at the Faculty of Theology of Turin-Crocetta, and, in 1992, a doctorate in Philosophy, at the Pontifical Salesian University of Rome.

Member of the Post-Novitiate House of Nave, since 1985, as a trainer and teacher of Philosophy and Pedagogy, Fr. Cameroni has a very rich experience in vocational accompaniment and animation, in the Italian Province of Lombardo Emiliana (ILE); as well as animation of family life and prayer groups, and parish pastoral work, with the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians.

Delegate of the ILE Province in the 24th and 26th General Chapters, he has also been following the spiritual and vocational path of the Shalom recovery community in Palazzolo Sull’Oglio (Brescia) for some years.

On May 24, 2007, the Chief Rector, Fr. Pascual Chávez appointed him World Spiritual Animator of the Association of Mary Help of Christians, and on July 6, 2010, also by decision of the Rector Major, he was appointed General Postulator for the Causes of Saints of the Salesian Family.
