Salesians of Don Bosco

in

Consisting of Fathers and lay Brothers, we Salesians are spread in 139 countries the Salesians of Don Bosco, focus in working with and for the young.

Our Mission

In the humble beginnings of the congregation, back in 1859, Don Bosco gave a clear and simple mission. A mission centralised on the education and evangelisation of the young, especially those with greater disadvantage than others. We Salesians live and work together in a community as Salesian Priests and Salesian Brothers. A Family atmosphere prevails in all our works, which helps in getting through to young people in a friendly way.

Our works include schools at all levels, youth centres, residential homes and support services for children with family problems and street children, as well as chaplaincies in schools and universities.
