Bogdan Kolar – In the footsteps of the teacher the Salesians 100 years in Slovenia (1901-2001)

The 100 years existence of salesian work in Slovenia are summarized by the same author whose recent work was published in the local language. The century under consideration is divided politically into four long periods, and consequently from a salesian point of view very different from each other: that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1901-1918); that of the kingdom of Jugoslavia (1918-1941); that of the communist era (1941-1980) and that post-Tito (1980) until the present. The salesian charism once sown in Slovenian soil, even with difficulty, was able to grow, mature and renew itself, overcoming the storms of history, waiting for better times to come.

I 100 anni di vita dell’opera salesiana in Slovenia sono qui sintetizzati dallo stesso autore del volume recentemente dato alle stampe, ovviamente in lingua locale. Il secolo di storia preso in considerazione è suddiviso in quattro grandi tappe politicamente e, di conseguenza, salesianamente diversissime fra loro: quelle dell’impero austro-ungarico (1901-1918), quello del regno di Jugoslavia (1918-1941), quello del periodo comunista (1941-1980) e quello del dopo Tito (1980) fino ai giorni nostri. Il carisma salesiano, una volta attecchito, sia pure con difficoltà, in terra slovena, ha saputo crescere, maturare e rinnovarsi, superando le temperie storiche, in attesa di tempi migliori.
