Gaetano Compri – “The beginning and the development of the salesian work in Japan” in “The beginning of the Salesian presence in east Asia”.

To write this paper, I used a great part of the materials gathered by the deceased Fr. Alfonso Crevacore in the “Cimatti Museum” of Tokyo (CMT), situated in the Salesian Seminary of Chofu. It deals specially with the mail correspondence. The originals are found according to the container, or in the Vatican Archives, or in the Central Salesian Archives of Rome (ASC) or in the archive of the China Province in Hong Kong or in the said Cimatti Museum. Fr. Mario Rassiga’s manuscript “Breve cenno storico dell’opera salesiana in Cina” (vol. II, chapter XCIX, pp. 125-136), which reported the correspondence between the Holy See and the Superiors in Turin before the foundation of the Salesian work in Japan. One should note that the actual Japanese Province, up to I January 1928, was part of the Visitatoria of China, of which the superior was Fr. Ignazio Canazei.

Gaetano Compri – “Implantation of the salesian charism in Japan. Reflections of Fr Cimatti on the formation of personnel in loco” in “Implantation of the Salesian charism in Asia – Ideals, challenges, answers, results”

The first nine Salesian missionaries arrived in Japan on 8 February 1926 under the leadership of Fr Vincenzo Cimatti. They were entrusted with the two provinces of Miyazaki and Oita, far away from the big cities, where they succeeded the missionaries of the Foreign Missions of Paris (MEP).

Francesco Motto – “Salesian missionary activity while blessed Filippo Rinaldi (1921-1931) was Rector maior with particular reference to eastern Asia” in “The beginning of the Salesian presence in east Asia”.

On 6 February l922,Pius XI (1939) ascended the Papal throne: he would become known as a “Pope of the Missions” (as was his predecessor, Benedict XV). Two months later, on 24 April, Fr. Filippo Rinaldi ( 5 December 1931) was elected Rector Major: his ten years in office would be recalled for the great re-launching of the Salesian missionary movement. After a rapid glance at the “missionary policy” of the Papacy during the same period, we shall concentrate on that.

The Salesians landed in Macao on 13 February 1906 to take over the management of a diocesan orphanage and set up a school of arts and crafts, with the aim of expanding gradually into China proper, which they first did in 1911, shortly after the Portuguese republican revolution forced the them out of the enclave.

Francesco Motto – “Catholic church and the missions in the twenty years between the world wars. Salesian missionary strategy” in “Implantation of the Salesian charism in Asia – Ideals, challenges, answers, results”

This paper could be considered precisely the second part of the one presented at the previous seminart.

María Andrea Nicoletti – “Entre la utopía y la realidad: las misiones en la Patagonia en tiempos de don Rua a través de las visitas extraordinarias (1900 y 1908)”, in “Don Michele Rua primo successore di Don Bosco. Tratti di personalità, governo e opere (1888-1910)”.

La Patagonia fue el motor de las misiones salesianas ad gentes. Aquella tierra que surgió tras la intuición de don Bosco y que claramente se transformó en utopía, se constituyó como el mito fundador del carisma misionero salesiano. Tras la muerte de don Bosco (1888) y durante el rectorado de don Rua (1888-1910), la Patagonia comenzaba a abandonar aquel ideal utópico y a transitar por un camino que buscaba reorganizar y ordenar aquella desbordante realidad fundacional.

Jesús Borrego – «La biblioteca agraria solariana de Sevilla» , in “L’Opera Salesiana dal 1880 al 1922. Significatività e portata sociale”.

En 1894, en el colegio salesiano de Parma, nacia, «de modo casi imprevisto», el cenàculo de «San Benedetto», que, en tomo a Solari y al entusiasta discipulo Baratta, reunió a un grupo de jóvenes y profesionales, germen solariano que, en instrucción educativa informal y recibida a viva voz la doctrina del maestro, «la divulgò integralmente, conjugando catolicismo y neo-fisiocracia. Pronto el circulo de seguidores rebasó el àmbito parmense […] y animò experiencias en el exterior».

Albert Druart – “La direzione spirituale nei documenti ufficiali salesiani del ventesimo secolo. Comunicazione” in “Colloqui sulla vita salesiana, 11”

Durante lunghi anni, la tradizione salesiana usò poco l’espressione « direzione spirituale »; si preferiva la parola italiana « rendiconto ». Non è che si misconoscesse questa pratica indispensabile ad ogni progresso nella vita cristiana e a fortiori religiosa, ma sembrava che il rendiconto prescritto dalla regola potesse sostituirla.

Nella presente riflessione vorrei analizzare il rapporto tra il principio della religione e la metodologia educativa salesiana.
