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.”
Grazia Loparco,Stanisław Zimniak – “Appunti conclusivi”, in “Don Michele Rua primo successore di Don Bosco. Tratti di personalità, governo e opere (1888-1910)”.
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.

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.

This paper proposes to study the ideals that led the Salesians during this period, the challenges they faced, their response to these challenges and the results they attained.

La historia de la Iglesia se caracteriza por la incidencia notable de personas y acontecimientos, los cuales generan una serie de procesos que configuran e influyen en una determinada realidad humana y eclesial. La realidad eclesial en América Latina y sus distintas épocas históricas es una muestra de esa agitada o armoniosa relación entre la Iglesia y el Estado.
