Joseph Di Mauro – School Leadership Formation in the Salesian Tradition
The goal of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales is expressed in the first paragraph of the Constitutions which reads: “Their wholehearted endeavor will be to sanctify themselves, in order to aid more efficaciously the sanctification of their neighbor, through the different functions of the sacred ministry, the Christian education of youth, and missions in foreign lands” (Dufour, 1933/1994, p. 53).

Rodolfo Bogotto – “Regolamento della compagnia del SS. Sacramento” in “Ricerche Storiche Salesiane”
La fondazione della compagnia del SS. Sacramento avviene un decennio dopo l’istituzione della compagnia di san Luigi, per la quale don Bosco aveva compilato un regolamento semplice, in cui ad ogni associato si chiedeva di accostarsi ogni quindici giorni “ai SS. Sacramenti della penitenza e della Comunione ed anche con maggior frequenza soprattutto nelle maggiori solennità della Chiesa”.

Francis J. Moloney – Jesus and Salesian Discipleship
I have been given the mandate to speak to you today on the theme: “How the Word of God shapes our community and our mission today.” I was not sure how to handle this very large question in a couple of talks and a discussion session. Biblical themes abound. But in the end, I thought that the best way to reflect on the way the word of God shapes our community and mission today was to reflect upon “the Word of God.” Continue reading “Francis J.

Joseph Boenzi – Paolo Albera’s instructions early efforts to inculcate the Spirit of Don Bosco
Among Saint John Bosco’s early disciples, Paolo Albera (1845-1921) was one who was called upon to articulate and defend the founder’s spirit. Even as a youth, he had been numbered among Don Bosco’s most beloved. He served in a variety of leadership positions from his teenage years until his election as rector major in 1910. Perhaps his most significant role before becoming superior general was that of spiritual director general of the Salesian Society, a post he held from 1892 until 1910.

Kaoru Tamura – Something about Mary. Reflections on Don Bosco, mother Mazzarello and the development of the “Spirit of Mornese”
Mary Mazzarello had not seen Don Bosco until October of 1864, when he visited Mornese. In fact, it was not until 1871, some seven years later, that she came under the direct authority of the Founder, when the Institute of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians was founded. However, she seems to have been well prepared for her work with Don Bosco and the Salesians, both in her philosophical formation and her life experiences.
