(ANS - Rome) - Just a few days after his return to the Generalate from Central America, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major, is preparing to leave for a new intercontinental journey. This time it will include the Salesians, the Salesian Family and youth of the Vice-Province of Zambia-Zimbabwe-Malawi-Namibia.

(ANS - Brussels) - "Europe is at a crossroads, and the future of European cooperation and the benefits derived from it are in danger. At stake is the future of the planet and the kind of Europe in which our children will grow." For this reason, Don Bosco International joined another 176 European and national institutions, in a manifesto published Monday 12 September at the Bratislava summit.

(ANS - Rome) - On 12 September, 481 young people began National Community Service with the Salesians: 448 in Italy and 43 abroad (Spain, Bosnia, Palestine, Angola, Madagascar, Bolivia) – they are 481 reasons to hope for a world with a more beautiful face. As Pope Francis said to the young people at WYD in Krakow: "He [the Lord] wants your hands to continue to build the world today."
