(ANS - Ivato) - "In all the work I've done, I've tried to spend myself for the good of these poor children and the people of the place where I was. (...) I am still amazed today, talking with the children, in discovering their ways of seeing things, of reasoning, of understanding family relationships. But I am ever more convinced that the Gospel of Jesus and the Charism of Don Bosco are for them, too." Over thirty years of mission have not affected or dampened the missionary enthusiasm of Fr Erminio De Santis, an Italian Salesian, a disciple of Don Bosco among the children and young people of Madagascar.

(ANS - Madrid) - Interviewed by the online newspaper "Religión Digital" Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major, also spoke about Pope Francis and the Church, with decisive answers and declarations. The Salesian is convinced that with Pope Francis "the Church is living through a beautiful spring."

(ANS - Madrid) - "No careerism, no comfort zone, no worries for oneself... This is not the image, neither the reality, nor the language of the Salesians of Don Bosco...," so says Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, Rector Major, speaking clearly as the person responsible for the second largest male religious congregation in the world, with 15,000 consecrated persons, a thousand less than the Jesuits.
