Don Bosco was a man who dreamed dreams. His dreams became reality and are still becoming reality. A lot of people think that he had a dream that is connected with the Korean province. The dream concerns the evangelization of Northeast Asia. If we look at the historical records that we have in our possession, the first Salesian confrere to set foot on Korean soil was the “Don Bosco of the East”, the Eastern Interpretation of Don Bosco’s Preventive System, the Venerable, Fr. Vincenzo Cimatti. ln 1934, he went to Manchuria to give a concert. At the same time he visited Korea, giving a concert in four cities. After that Fr. Cimatti himself as Provincial began to form missionaries in Japan to send to Korea. The first Salesians to enter Korea were the fruits of these endeavors.

The aim of the Seminar is to present the beginnings of the Salesian Presence in East Asia and Oceania. The Philippines, as part of this Salesian Region, has also its beginnings and origins from the first Salesian Presence in East Asia: China. For in the two times that the Salesians started to root themselves in the Philippines, they came from China to negotiate and to concretise what they negotiated.

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.

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.

Agostino Favale – Progetto missionario di Don Bosco e suoi presupposti storico-dottrinali

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.

La storia come approfondimento del fatto umano non è statica nel già acquisito: essa è dinamica ed irreversibile per esigenza di precisione cronologica, di chiarificazioni di avvenimenti, della loro interpretazione e degli effetti nel loro divenire.
