Up to the present day, officially the Salesians of Vietnam has had a history of over 52 years. A history that is long, as well as epic and fruitful enough to draw admiration from many, as well as attention of those who are interested in Salesian history, as we are here in these days. Unluckily, because of the social and political turmoil of the country, most of the documents had been destroyed or lost, which certainly renders the writing down this history become a very challenging task. it is my task to present to you a short historical account of the first period of this glorious history. The beginning of the Salesian Work in Vetnam, of which, in using biblical expression, I would dare to give a subtitle: The Patriarchal story and the Exodus. The account that my presentation is dealing with covers a time-span of about 25 years, roughly from 1930 to 1955.

The China Mission, which started in 1906, was established as an autonomous entity on 1 January 1923, when the Visitatoria della China was erected, comprising 32 confreres and houses and works in Macao, Heung Shan and Shiu Chow. As new missions in Japan and Siam were being accepted or considered, the Sino-Japanese Province was erected on 28 May 1926. In December of that same year Fr. Pietro Ricaldone set out on a year-long extraordinary visitation of the Asian Missions.By the time the visitation ended in late 1927, there was a Salesian regional presence and a well established juridical structure in East Asia.

This brief paper intends to outline the juridical configuration and development strategies of the Salesian work in China and study the internal and external conditions that influenced its first expansion, in the years 1926-1927, in East Asia.

Eugenio Ceria – Vita del servo di Dio Don Michele Rua primo successore di San Giovanni Bosco.

Spesse volte vidi e ascoltai Don Rua; non poche volte gli parlai; vissi venticinque anni di vita salesiana, quando si sentiva il crescente e salutare influsso del suo governo. Durante questo tempo la figura di lui mi venne sempre più grandeggiando dinanzi allo spirito; la fama poi che lo seguì oltre la tomba, me la fece ingigantire. Ora che il lavoro, bene o male, è finito, debbo senza falsa modestia confessare che lo trovo di troppo inferiore a quello che meriterebbe l’importanza dell’argomento.

Vi fu in don Bosco un altro ideale, non disgiunto da quello dell’amore ai giovani, che va messo in luce. Si tratta dell’anelito missionario che, sbocciato nel periodo degli studi seminaristici, venne da lui coltivato fino a trasformarlo in un orientamento di fondo della sua esistenza e delle sue iniziative apostoliche, a porlo tra gli obiettivi precipui delle due Congregazioni da lui ideate, e a trasfonderlo nell’animo dei suoi figli e delle sue figlie spirituali.

Giovanni Bosco – “Appeals to private charity” in “Salesian Sources 1. Don Bosco and his work. Collected works”

The financial contributions asked for and obtained from public authorities and institutions were certainly not enough to help him confront the huge expenses of the Salesian Work. It was necessary to appeal to private charity. Logically, Don Bosco turned especially to families and individuals who had financial possibilities, meaning those belonging to the nobility, mostly large property owners, and the upper and middle class of the time who were notably ready to dispense charity. Some of these, albeit modest in their private savings, could actually find an outlet in educational and charitable works such as those of Don Bosco.
