Nell’anno centenario della fondazione del primo Oratorio è bene mettere nella miglior luce il grande dono che la Vergine Immacolata fece alla gioventù guidando il suo fedele servo Don Bosco a questa terra benedetta, destinata ad essere centro e foco d’irradiazione delle Opere salesiane a salvezza delle anime.

The question that this paper seeks to explore is to what extent Don Bosco’s educational approach was received and accepted in England and to what extent it was itself modified in the process of meeting a new and alien culture.
Nella prima udienza il papa Leone XIII, il giorno 21 di Febbraio dell’anno 1888, disse a don Rua: “Don Rua, voi siete il successore di Don Bosco: mi condolgo con voi per la perdita che avete fatta, ma mi rallegro perchè Bosco era un Santo e dal Cielo non mancherà di assistervi”.

Prompted by the visit of the Holy Father and the Beatification of Cardinal Newman in England in September 2010, the author considers Dominic Savio’s wellknown dream about England and the Catholic Faith, and, after considering the explanations provided by others, offers another hypothesis based on Don Bosco’s own considerable personal knowledge and interest in events in that country at the time.
This note is an attempt to provide the conclusions of an extensive statistical survey covering the last 120 years of Salesian vocations nurtured and cultivated in the «English Province» under its various guises, by the various communities, and with particular reference to the Novitiates during this period.
The aim of this article is to examine, first of all, what connections there were between the Oratory and England, and to try to provide some explanation for Dominic Savio’s keen interest in that far off land. Secondly, it is hoped to examine the actual circumstances which led thirty years later, to the foundation of the first Salesian mission at Battersea in London in November 1887.

The case study which is the subject of this book is drawn from an earlier era of expansion and optimism. Based upon a very full collection of contemporary records, it deals with the foundation of the junior seminary for boys established by the Salesian Congregation in 1929 at Shrigley Park, near Macclesfield in Cheshire, and with its development during the course of the decade leading up to the outbreak of the Second World War.
The question that this paper seeks to explore is to what extent Don Bosco’s educational approach was received and accepted in England and to what extent it was itself modified in the process of meeting a new and alien culture. Part of the debate involves the English perception that some aspects of Don Bosco’s Preventive System to the eyes of some foreign Salesians the existence of corporal punishment in Salesian schools was a direct contradiction of Don Bosco’s approach to education. In order to understand this cultural incomprehension, this essay looks at the nature of the English educational context in Victorian England. It will highlight one particular issue where the Salesian approach to education was significantly modified by its experience in England i.e. how corporal punishment came to be incorporated into the practice in the English Salesian schools.

In tutta la sua corrispondenza don Rua manifesta una preoccupazione profonda per ogni persona e una cura pastorale per ognuno. Per lui, le strutture altamente centralizzate del governo che hanno caratterizzato la Società Salesiana sin dalla sua fondazione non intralciano, ma al contrario promuovono la crescita della fiducia e lo sviluppo sia del singolo che della comunità locale.
