Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Activities and works of salesian youth ministry



click to download pdf

We propose some reflections on the most important features of the works and services in which one carries out the Salesian Youth Ministry outlined in the Educative and Pastoral  Project. First of all there are the most organised and traditional works: the Oratory-Youth  Centre, School and Vocational Training Centre, the Salesian presence in Higher Education, the parish and sanctuary entrusted to the Salesians, and the works and the social services for  youth-at-risk. Then there are other works and services through which we reach out to young  people and respond to the new challenges they pose. Many of these new educational and  pastoral presences among young people can be carried out also in the traditional services; it would be a sign of the effort at their renewal and pastoral advancement.

L’anno scolastico volge al fine anzi in alcuni dei nostri istituti per particolari ragioni già furono dati gli esami e distribuiti i premi, e gli allievi ed anche alcuni Confratelli, per ragioni loro particolari, partirono per le loro case. Per questo motivo desidero che questa lettera non solo sia letta ora, ma venga riletta al principio del nuovo anno scolastico. Si avvicina il tempo in cui per bontà del Signore ci sarà dato di occuparci con maggior impegno del nostro profitto spirituale facendo gli esercizi annuali.

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Educative and pastoral community: make the house a family for the young



click to download pdf

Salesian Youth Ministry requires agreement of purpose and conviction on the part of all those involved in the planning and implementation of the Educative-Pastoral Community. In this  chapter we shall examine the community identity, how it works, the style of shared  responsibility and the way it is animated. The community is called to invest in the fi gure of the Salesian educator. In trying to discern and renew each activity and work, we look to the  Salesian style, the “oratory criterion” that connects us with the practical insights of the charism (our way of living together in communion) which have become part of our shared patrimony,  and are applicable to all contexts where Salesians operate. Importance is given to the way we  offer signs of the Gospel in everyday life, and the way we cultivate authentic relationships and 
communication.

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Salesian educative and pastoral project: operational tool



click to download pdf

We believe in education and we challenge ourselves to plan our procedures in its regard; youth ministry comes into being when education is translated into concrete educational processes. The effort to plan, by means of the SEPP, keeps alive our willingness to be actively present amongst the young. By following the four dimensions we are helped in developing the  personality of the young Christian through a systematic variety of proposals and a broad understanding of youth ministry which is open to everyone. In the end there are certain choices which run through all of Salesian ministry. Continue reading “Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Salesian educative and pastoral project: operational tool” →

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Evangelising and educating: our apostolic identity



click to download pdf

Fullness of life and the happiness of human beings is the ultimate purpose of the plan of God. The Gospel of Christ shows great trust in humanity. It demands that we pay attention to the unique reality of every person and their willingness to accept their vocation and destiny in  Christ, the perfect man. The Gospel proposes the good news (the person of Christ) who invites everyone to share in Christ’s sonship, the foundation of the freedom and dignity of every  person. Don Bosco educated and evangelised by carrying out a project of holistic development. He saw education as the growth of the person, with all the means necessary to assist the  person. Evangelisation inspires people to the fullness of life offered in Jesus and enlightens  them in its pursuit, always respecting the developing conscience of each person. Finally,  regarding the choice of fi eld of ministry, we are sent to the poor, especially the poorest, and to ordinary class environments, where we seek to humanise and evangelise the culture.

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – The preventive system: a spiritual and educational experience



click to download pdf

Don Bosco’s God-given vocation for the mission of salvation of the young, especially the  poorest, involves many people and groups in a common spirituality and a shared educational and pastoral method which is the Preventive System. It is the source and inspiration of a 
concrete and original way of living and implementing the Salesian mission which we call  Salesian Youth Ministry. In this fourth chapter, the educative and pastoral approach will gradually take shape, starting from its guiding principle which is pastoral charity. The centrality of pastoral charity offers a real prospect of renewal for the pastoral care of young people. It is  therefore the criterion and pivot of pastoral planning at all levels. The Preventive System, in so far as it is a project of holistic education, comprises essentially two aspects. It is a project of  Christian life (Salesian Youth Spirituality) and a practical pedagogical method.

Mentre d’ordinario le mie circolari s’indirizzano a tutti indistintamente i membri della famiglia Salesiana, questa volta la mia parola è diretta particolarmente a voi, cui la fiducia dei Superiori Maggiori ha posti a capo delle nostre Case in qualità d’ispettori e Direttori.

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – From Christ the evangeliser to the evangelising church



click to download pdf

An updated presentation of Salesian Youth Ministry requires refl ection not only of a charismatic type but also of a theological nature. Youth Ministry as an activity of the ecclesial community demands of us a deep theological and ecclesiological study. This chapter expounds three basic convictions: Jesus Christ, the evangeliser who proclaimed communion with God  and communion between people (fraternal love), is the full revelation of God as a community of love. The Church is the mystery of Communion and mission, animated and sustained by the  Spirit of God. The Salesian Congregation shares the Church’s evangelising mission, with a  specific option for the young.

Dicastero per la Pastorale Giovanile – Il sistema preventivo: una esperienza spirituale ed educativa



clicca per scaricare il pdf

La chiamata, da parte di Dio, di Don Bosco per una missione di salvezza della gioventù, specialmente dei più poveri, coinvolge molte persone e gruppi in una convergenza spirituale ed in condivisione educativa e pastorale: il Sistema Preventivo. Questa è la fonte e l’ispirazione di una forma concreta e originale di vivere e attuare la missione salesiana che chiamiamo la Pastorale Giovanile Salesiana. In questo quarto capitolo prende gradualmente corpo la  proposta educativo-pastorale a partire dal suo principio ispiratore: la carità pastorale. La sua centralità diventa una reale prospettiva di rinnovamento per la pastorale dei giovani e quindi  criterio, perno della progettazione pastorale a tutti i livelli. Il Sistema Preventivo, in quanto  progetto educativo di educazione integrale, si articola sostanzialmente secondo due direzioni: come proposta di vita cristiana (Spiritualità Giovanile Salesiana) e come metodologia  pedagogica pratica.
