It deals specially with the mail correspondence. The originals are found according to the container, or in the Vatican Archives, or in the Central Salesian Archives of Rome (ASC) or in the archive of the China Province in Hong Kong or in the said Cimatti Museum. Fr. Mario Rassiga’s manuscript “Breve cenno storico dell’opera salesiana in Cina” (vol. II, chapter XCIX, pp. 125-136), which reported the correspondence between the Holy See and the Superiors in Turin before the foundation of the Salesian work in Japan.

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 China Mission, which started in 1906, was established as an autonomous entity on 1 January 1923, when the Visitatoria della China was erected, comprising 32 confreres and houses and works in Macao, Heung Shan and Shiu Chow. As new missions in Japan and Siam were being accepted or considered, the Sino-Japanese Province was erected on 28 May 1926. In December of that same year Fr. Pietro Ricaldone set out on a year-long extraordinary visitation of the Asian Missions.By the time the visitation ended in late 1927, there was a Salesian regional presence and a well established juridical structure in East Asia.

This brief paper intends to outline the juridical configuration and development strategies of the Salesian work in China and study the internal and external conditions that influenced its first expansion, in the years 1926-1927, in East Asia.

In un convegno, per quanto articolato, non si può infatti dire tutto. Vari spunti spingono oltre la ricerca, considerando che don Rua fu rettor maggiore e superiore di due congregazioni in rapidissima espansione. Di conseguenza le sue linee di governo dovettero oscillare tra due fuochi: il consolidamento delle opere, della formazione, delle strutture secondo uno spirito specifico e le continue richieste di fondazioni in contesti sociali, economici, educativi, ecclesiali diversi, che esigevano acume pratico e versatilità.

The scope of my work was to remember our founding fathers and to help preserve their legacy by keeping a record of the Salesian charism transmitted by the pioneers to our Filipinos, so that it may serve as one of our constant references for a “return to Don Bosco.”

Durante il rettorato di don Michele Rua, i figli e le figlie di don Bosco, richiesti da tempo da vari vescovi, giunsero finalmente negli Stati Uniti d’America. Vari articoli sul “Journal of Salesian Studies” e “Ricerche Storiche Salesiane”  hanno presentato alcuni dei primi inizi andati a vuoto, così come arrivi effettuati e i primi difficili anni dei salesiani nella California e a New York.

El centenario de la muerte del Beato Michele Rua, nos invita a ocuparnos de esta figura de primer orden en la Congregación Salesiana: Rector Mayor de 1888 a 1910, que en sus 22 años de rectorado la llevó a un gran desarrollo. Trataré el tema de Don Rua y México Salesiano; pero más que seguir toda la historia de la Obra Salesiana en México de 1889 a 1910, trataré de descubrir la parte destacada que tuvo el Primer Sucesor de Don Bosco en su Fundación y primer desarrollo.
