(ANS - Santo Domingo) - The Salesian School Network in America (ESA) celebrates the 25th anniversary of its contribution to culture in the educational field. For over a century the Salesians (SDB) and the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (FMA) and thousands of lay people of the Salesian Family have dedicated their lives and energies to educational and apostolic activities with the aim of training and forming young people, trying to adapt the teachings of the founders and the Salesian charism to and in each region and in every historical moment, orienting them towards the only educational goal: the salvation of their souls. ESA continues its reflections and programming even today.

(ANS - Cetraro) - The fifteenth edition of the “Family Animators Formation School” (SFAF), organized by the Cerchi D’Onda Onlus association, ended on Sunday 25 August. Over 270 people - families with children, consecrated men and women, priests - took part in the one-week formation course with teachers and formators. Held in Cetraro, province of Cosenza, in the Colonia San Benedetto, it was a week in which the family was the absolute protagonist.

(ANS - Hua Hin) - More than a century ago Don Bosco repeated to his benefactors that helped him financially: "Without your help we could do nothing of what we do." But at the same time he had the clear and concrete conviction that it was the Provident God who manifested Himself through people. For this reason he said to the Oratorians: "Boy, go to the chapel and pray for an intention of Don Bosco." Yesterday's benefactors became part of the "Salesian Mission Office", which is an instrument to search for and send essential economic aid to the sowers of the Kingdom.

(ANS - Piura) - In 1859, when Don Bosco gathered the first group of young people to found the Salesian Congregation, he had an idea in his heart: the purpose and desire of this Congregation is "to promote and preserve the spirit of true charity which is required in the work of the oratories for abandoned and endangered youth." The first Salesians who arrived in Peru had this sole desire in their hearts: to establish oratories. In the department of Piura, the Salesians grew and created countless oratories. Today, to celebrate the feast of Don Bosco, they brought together hundreds of children and young people.
