Inculturation of the Salesian charism in India implies, making Don Bosco’s charism firmly rooted in Indian culture so that it acquires a truly Indian identity. It has been argued that the case of India is one of the amazing success stories of inculturation of Don Bosco’s charism in the history of the Salesian congregation. The pioneer groups of Salesians who came to India faithfully and creatively implanted and inculturated thè Salesian charism in their “new fatherland”, taking into consideration its religious, social, politicai, economie and cultural ethos and contexts.

Il 21 luglio del 1887, in pieno inverno, con 11 gradi sotto zero, quattro salesiani piemontesi, con una valigia color marrone ed un baule con gli arredi sacri arrivarono in nave a Punta Arenas, allora la città più meridionale del mondo. A mettere piede sul molo di legno erano i padri Giuseppe Fagnano, Antonio Ferrerò, insieme al chierico Fortunato Griffa ed al catechista fratello Giuseppe Audisio.

La Patagonia es por excelencia el espacio de estudio para una Historia Social de los Salesianos. Lo es por multiples razones, pero fundamentalmente
porque era el sueno anhelado de Don Bosco y porque es aqui donde la labor de
los Misioneros andantes encontró terreno fértil y virgen para evangelizar y educar
desde el momento mismo del proceso de la conquista territorial. Continue reading “Silvia Laura Zanini – “Patagonia: Terreno para una hìstoria social de los salesianos. El choque cultural” , in “L’Opera Salesiana dal 1880 al 1922. Significatività e portata sociale”.” →

Dicasterio para la Pastoral Juvenil Salesiana – Evangelizar y educar: nuestra identidad apostólica



clica para descargar el pdf

El sentido último del plan de Dios es la vida plena y la felicidad de los seres humanos. El Evangelio de Cristo tiene gran confi anza en lo humano. Es necesaria la atención a la realidad única de cada persona y la disponibilidad a acoger su vocación y destino en Cristo, “hombre perfecto”. El Evangelio propone la grata noticia (la persona de Jesús), que invita a cada uno a participar de la filiación en Cristo, fundamento de la libertad y la dignidad de toda persona. Don Bosco educa y evangeliza realizando un proyecto de promoción integral: la educación como crecimiento de la persona, como conjunto de mediaciones necesarias al servicio de las personas; la evangelización inspira e ilumina la plenitud de la vida ofrecida en Jesús, respetando la condición evolutiva del sujeto. Finalmente, la elección del campo apostólico: los jóvenes, sobre todo los más pobres y los ambientes populares, para los cuales y en los cuales se humaniza y evangeliza la cultura.

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Evangelising and educating: our apostolic identity



click to download pdf

Fullness of life and the happiness of human beings is the ultimate purpose of the plan of God. The Gospel of Christ shows great trust in humanity. It demands that we pay attention to the unique reality of every person and their willingness to accept their vocation and destiny in  Christ, the perfect man. The Gospel proposes the good news (the person of Christ) who invites everyone to share in Christ’s sonship, the foundation of the freedom and dignity of every  person. Don Bosco educated and evangelised by carrying out a project of holistic development. He saw education as the growth of the person, with all the means necessary to assist the  person. Evangelisation inspires people to the fullness of life offered in Jesus and enlightens  them in its pursuit, always respecting the developing conscience of each person. Finally,  regarding the choice of fi eld of ministry, we are sent to the poor, especially the poorest, and to ordinary class environments, where we seek to humanise and evangelise the culture.

Dicasterio para la Pastoral Juvenil Salesiana – Habitar la vida y la cultura de los jovenes de hoy



clica para descargar el pdf

El primer capítulo tiene carácter inspirador. La pastoral viene considerada desde una perspectiva optimista de la realidad juvenil, abierta a todas las expectativas de los jóvenes, aún las ocultas e inconscientes. Solo habitando su mundo se pueden apreciar realmente sus posibilidades. Abandonando una pastoral encerrada en sí misma, abrimos la mirada con esperanza a la óptica del más débil y del que está en mayor riesgo.

Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Inhabiting the life and culture of today’s young people



click to download pdf

The firs chapter is of an inspirational nature. As well as giving youth ministry a positive slant on the youth situation, it opens it up to all the young people’s expectations, even those that are  hidden and unconscious. Only by inhabiting their world can we come to really appreciate its  potential. We need to abandon any form of ministry that is turned in on itself, and open our  gaze with hope, always keeping in mind young people who are weakest and most at risk. New cultural paradigms and the challenges thrown up by different contexts call for specific attention and challenge the very meaning of ministry and of being Church. In this chapter we would like  to focus on the motivation that drove Don Bosco and the Congregation during and after his time in their commitment on behalf of young people.  Continue reading “Salesian Youth Ministry Department – Inhabiting the life and culture of today’s young people” →
