We, the Salesians of
Don Bosco, formally known as the Society of St Francis of Sales, are recognised
in the Church as a clerical
religious institute of pontifical right, "dedicated to apostolic
works". We are a Religious Congregation of men devoted to apostolic and
missionary activity and to the many different works inspired by Christian
charity, but especially the service of young people, in particular those who
are poorer and disadvantaged.
Open to the cultural values of the lands in which we work, we try
to understand them and become part of them so as to incarnate in them the
message of the Gospel.
The needs of the young, of ordinary people, the desire to work
with the Church and in her name, inspire and shape our concrete pastoral
activity so as to bring about a more just world and one of greater fellowship
in Christ.
Founded by St. John Bosco, an Italian saint-educator
of the nineteenth century, we are today in 132 different nations.
