John Rasor – The salesian brother’s spiritual identity



click to download pdf

This study will look at how the Salesian brother’s vocation appears in official Salesian writings while Don Bosco was founding the Salesian Congregation, and at how the Congregation has theologically reflected on that vocation as part of its renewal of its Constitutions. It will then examine how this identity has been applied.

Giovanni Bosco – Cooperators in the salesian mission



click to download pdf

The first text (no. 272) included here is an extract from a long conference which Don Bosco gave at the opening of the Patronage de St Pierre in Nice, on 12 March 1877. After summing up the events which led to the founding of the first Salesian House in France, thanks to the involvement of a group of lay people belonging to the St Vincent de Paul Society, supported by Bishop Pietro Sola, the saint said that the work was only set up because of the fruitful cooperation between the Salesians and the Cooperators. Then, pointing out the principal purpose of the Institution (“the good of humanity and the salvation of souls”), he concluded with the reflection that we offer here, focused entirely on practical charity, works of mercy, essential features of true Christian discipleship and on the eternal reward that comes from it (cf. Mt 25:34-35).

Giovanni Bosco – Spiritual formation of the young through preaching, “goodnights” and dream accounts



click to download pdf

In Don Bosco’s educational system preaching has special importance, both that which is bound up with the liturgical or catechetical context, and that of the informal, familiar kind. The saint often addressed the community of young people with brief and fervent talks aimed at stirring up their emotions, nurturing their minds, encouraging good resolutions and devout sentiments, and looking ahead to stimulating horizons.

La animación y la coordinación de la pastoral se estructuran en diversos ámbitos: local,  inspectorial, interinspectorial y mundial.

Se proponen algunas reflexiones sobre las características más importantes de las obras y de  los servicios en los que se desarrolla la Pastoral Juvenil Salesiana expresada en el Proyecto Educativo-Pastoral. Ante todo se presentan las obras y las estructuras más organizadas y  tradicionales: el Oratorio-Centro Juvenil, la escuela y el Centro de Formación Profesional, la presencia salesiana en la Educación Superior, la parroquia y santuario confiados a los salesianos y las obras-servicios sociales para jóvenes en riesgo. A continuación, otras obras y servicios con los que se trata de ir al encuentro de los jóvenes y responder a los nuevos  desafíos que nos presentan. Muchas de estas nuevas presencias educativas y pastorales entre los jóvenes se dan también en las obras tradicionales y constituyen una señal de esfuerzo de renovación y de cualificación pastoral.

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Salesian youth ministry animation structures



click to download pdf

The animation and coordination of pastoral work are carried out on different levels: local,  provincial, interprovincial and international. In drawing up the pastoral plan which gives details of its intended commitments, the EPC needs to select the necessary means and determine the concrete steps to be taken to avoid going ahead without due, thoughtful consideration. We are  suggesting a practical method for drawing up the SEPP. Continue reading “Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Salesian youth ministry animation structures” →

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.

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.
