In "Serving the Young" Fr Jim Gallagher SDB focuses on aspects of the religious dimension of education in a Catholic School: an educational community inspired by Christian faith and beliefs about people, life and the world. His main sources are the directives and guidance set out in Church documents. He also draws on his own experience, over the years, in a variety of roles within Catholic education.

One of the very popular books for children, "Chloe and Jack Visit the Vatican" introduces youngsters to the beauties of St Peter's, the tradition of papal elections and the workings of the Vatican. It is authored by Kathleen Pearce and illustrated by Martina Spinkova.

“Don Bosco in Mangalore before the arrival of the Salesians: this was a story that needed to be told long before. There is so much of interesting data and so many significant connections between Don Bosco and Mangalore, already from the time of the Saint Don Bosco himself, that I wonder how it all remained unheard of for such a long time… and now that the book is published, I feel like the Mission is accomplished and the journey continues” said Philomena D’Souza, FMA, the author.
