Don Bosco ha accettato e vissuto la sua vecchiaia con singolare energia psicologica e morale, pur soffrendo intimamente distacchi, momenti di più acuta solitudine e di forzata inazione. Non si arrese mai al deperimento progressivo sul piano fisico.

What follows is an attempt to write a history of the foundation and development of the Salesians in England, from the origins in the 1940s up to 1930, with a postscript on the crisis of 1939-40.
L’ Epistolario di don Francesco Bodrato, già pubblicato nel 1988, ha aperto le edizioni critiche della sezione Missioni dell’istituto Storico Salesiano. È stata una scelta intenzionale: è apparso infatti ovvio che su altri salesiani più rappresentativi dovesse prevalere l’Epistolario di chi, nella breve ma intensa presenza «americana» (1876-1880), ha svolto una funzione significativa in un memorabile momento della storia della Società Salesiana.

El Epistolario de don Francesco Bodratto abre el apartado « ediciones críticas » de la sección-misiones del Instituto Histórico Salesiano. Ha sido una opción querida. Aún reconociendo que tal primacía correspondería a otros salesianos más representativos que él en el alborear misionero —card. Cagliero, mons. Lasagna, mons. Costamagna, mons. Fagnano… —, sin embargo el escaso lustro transcurrido por don Bodratto en tierra argentina — fácilmente abarcable — y la coyuntura histórica en el que lo transcurre, le otorgan el honor de abrir brecha en la publicación de fuentes misioneras.

This evaluation focuses more on the content than on the methodology. The seminar helped to improve knowledge of the situation as far as content is concerne which was very interesting.
The Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (SIHM) would like to acknowledge the invitation to contribute to the Seminar of EAO on “Implantation of the Salesian Charism in the Region: Ideals, Challenges, Answers and Results”.

The paper sheds light on the contribution of the FMA to the advance of the Salesian spirit in China through their availability, sacrifice, indomitable courage in facing severe challenges and above all their fidelity to the spirit of “Da mihi animas, cetera tolle” by offering to youth and the needy services in keeping with the charism of the institute and in response to the needs of the place and time.
The first nine Salesian missionaries arrived in Japan on 8 February 1926 under the leadership of Fr Vincenzo Cimatti. They were entrusted with the two provinces of Miyazaki and Oita, far away from the big cities, where they succeeded the missionaries of the Foreign Missions of Paris (MEP).
This article looks at the first thirty years of the presence and implantation of the Salesian charism on the soil of North-East India. The first group of six FMA missionaries disembarked in this region on 8 December 1923. During the span of time under consideration, there were eight foundations of which seven were in the North-East and one in West Bengal.
This paper, which investigates the first thirty years of the history of the Thai FMA Province of “St Mary Mazzarello” through the lived experience of is members from the first batch of missionaries who came to Siam in 1931 to the 14th group in 1961, takes on added significance in the context of the celebration of the 75 years of FMA presence in Thailand two years ago and our present project of completing the chronicles of the Province.
The phase of implantation, expansion and initial consolidation of Salesian presence in India may be considered to be the period from 1906 to 1951/52, i.e. from the arrival of Salesians until the establishment of the two provinces of the North and the South. This paper proposes to study the ideals that led the Salesians during this period, the challenges they faced, their response to these challenges and the results they attained.
How the Salesian Charism has been implanted and taken root in a country is indeed a very interesting and at the same time a very challenging theme. In the case of Viet Nam the planting and the growing processes seem to be neatly cut, surrounded by the turbulent events of the history of modern Viet Nam.
This paper aims to present the situation prevailing in the Kingdom of Siam at the time of the arrival of the first Salesians and the unexpected turn of evens which posed challenges to them.
The Salesians landed in Macao on 13 February 1906 to take over the management of a diocesan orphanage and set up a school of arts and crafts, with the aim of expanding gradually into China proper, which they first did in 1911, shortly after the Portuguese republican revolution forced the them out of the enclave.
This study also aims to present the various congregations founded by some of the Salesian missionaries who worked in the East Asian region of the known Salesian world.
