Pietro Ricaldone – “Lettera del Rettor Maggiore” in “Atti del Capitolo Superiore”

Col cuore straziato Don Ricaldone comunica che sono dolorose le poche e incerte le notizie giunte dalle cinquantadue case che la Famiglia Salesiana aveva nella cattolica Polonia, così tragicamente provata. Centinaia e centinaia sono i Confratelli e Suore travolti nell’immane sventura. Al tempo stesso esorta quanto sa e può i Signori Ispettori e Direttori a prendersi le più affettuose cure dei Confratelli sotto le armi: li seguano colla preghiera, con frequenti lettere, e con tutti quegli aiuti che possano loro procurare.

Jose Kuruvachira – “Inculturation of the salesian charism in India” in “Sviluppo del carisma di Don Bosco fino alla metà del secolo XX. Atti del Congresso internazionale di Storia Salesiana Roma, 19-23 novembre 2014”

Inculturation of the Salesian charism in India implies, making Don Bosco’s charism firmly rooted in Indian culture so that it acquires a truly Indian identity. It has been argued that the case of India is one of the amazing success stories of inculturation of Don Bosco’s charism in the history of the Salesian congregation. The pioneer groups of Salesians who came to India faithfully and creatively implanted and inculturated thè Salesian charism in their “new fatherland”, taking into consideration its religious, social, politicai, economie and cultural ethos and contexts.

Filippo Rinaldi – “Lettere del Rettor Maggiore” in “Atti del Capitolo Superiore”

Don Filippo Rinaldi scrive che, riguardo la Beatificazione di Don Bosco resta ancora un po’ di cammino da fare: deve tenersi la Congregazione o Seduta Generale sull’eroicità delle virtù, con Cardinali, Ufficiali e Consultori, coram Sanctissimo (ossia alla presenza del Santo Padre); Continue reading “Filippo Rinaldi – “Lettere del Rettor Maggiore” in “Atti del Capitolo Superiore””

Thomas Anchukandam – “Kristu Jyoti college, Bangalore: the history and significance of the opening of the first Salesian institution in the archdiocese of Bangalore – Part II” in “Ricerche storiche salesiane”

Kristu Jyoti College, built and launched on its mission of theological formation of the Salesians in the whole of India, was envisioned and realized in a fast-changing post-colonial world which was throwing up daunting challenges for the Church and consecrated life in general and for the Salesian Congregation with its professed goal of catering to the young and the needy in particular and that at a time when newly independent India was seeking to find its place in the comity of nations.

Thomas Anchukandam – “«Don Bosco» in northeast India. A name synonumous with change and societal transformation through education and skill-training” in “Percezione della figura di Don Bosco all’esterno dell’Opera salesiana dal 1879 al 1965”

Don Bosco had the idea of sending missionaries to India after his visits to Pope Pius IX in 1876 and 1877, with the intention of taking up the Vicariate Apostolic of Mangalore. However, the urgent and constant demands for personnel from South America forced him to postpone his plans for India. Years later, in 1883-1884, Mgr. Paul-François-Marie Goethals, Vicar Apostolic of Calcutta, on the recommendation of the Baroness de Monin from Belgium, invited Don Bosco to establish an orphanage in Giridih, southern Bihar, but the lack of personnel prevented Don Bosco from accepting this attractive proposal.

The achievements of the Salesians during their 22 years of work at Tanjore were certainly remarkable. When they reached that place, there was just a large parish with a miserably housed middle school catering to about 130 boys and an incipient orphanage with a handful of inmates.
