DON BOSCOMission Office

Dear Friends,

Saint John Bosco was named “Father and Teacherof Youth” by Pope John Paul II. He had one desire – to spend his life working with the young. This wasachieved by employing a simple teaching method stillpracticed today. The Preventive System – based onlove and not punishment, with reason, religion, andloving kindness. We call this the Salesian Spirit.

Today, many Missioners, Volunteers, and Cooperatorspractice his philosophy with the continued interest andgenerosity of people all over the world.

May our combined efforts bring hope to thosein need. After all, Saint John Bosco is waiting for us inparadise.

The SALESIAN FamilyFrom the beginning of his work, Don Bosconeeded help. Thus he called upon numerouspeople of good will. Little by little the Sale sianfamily took shape: a tree with many branches.

Each has its specific characteristics, but allshare the same objective: to live the Gospel andto proclaim it to the young.

Salesians of Don Bosco, founded in 1859.Religious priests and lay brothers, who wantto carry out in the Church the project of theirfounder: to be signs and bearers of the loveof God for youth, especially the poorest. Todaythey are 16,000 in about 130 countries.

The Salesians Sisters of Don Bosco (or theDaughters of Mary Help of Christians); foundedin 1872 by Don Bosco and St. Mary DomenicaMazzarello, are active religious Sisters whofollow the same pastoral and educative projectas the Salesians. Today, they are 15,700 in89 countries.

The Salesians Cooperators. After the Society ofSt. Francis de Sales, Don Bosco founded, in1876, the Union of Cooperators. This unionconstitutes a vast international movement ofpersons who commit them selves to live in a

Salesian way, particularly by serving the young,in their work environ ments and in the localChurch. They are more than 100 in Canada.

The Past Pupils of Don Bosco, founded around1870. They are grouped into local associationsand united on the national and internationallevels. To be a Past Pupil means to live, in thestyle of Don Bosco, in simplicity, cheefulnessand family spirit.

The Don Bosco Volunteers were founded in1917 from the generosity of three young womengathered around Don Philip Rinaldi, 3rd suc ces -sor of Don Bosco.

The Volunteers are women, organized in aSecular Institute, who commit themselves towork in the spirit of Don Bosco while remaininginserted into their regular daily life. Since 1994,there exists as well a mas culine branch.

In the footsteps of Don BoscoMore than twenty religious congregations, mas -cu line and feminine, Secular Institutes andAsso ciations of lay people were at their requestofficially recognized as part of the SalesianFamily. All of them follow the Salesian Spi -rituality of Don Bosco.
