Spain – "Meet Don Bosco": a website to visit in the Salesian month of January

15 January 2024

(ANS - Madrid) - The website www.conoceadonbosco.com is a digital proposal launched by the Salesians in Spain in January 2012, designed to collect on the web various pastoral, visual resources and reflective materials on the life and mission of the "Saint of Youth". More than a decade later, what began as a modest selection of resources has grown to include hundreds of materials highlighting the figure of Don Bosco.

A radio serial, various writings, musical resources, videos and photographs etc., are just some of the materials that have been collected and presented over the years and are now available again with a new revised design at www.conoceadonbosco.com. In addition, among the latest additions is a wide selection of playlists available on Spotify, which are the highlighted soundtracks of this first month of the year.

The site, visually appealing and adapted to different mobile devices in line with new trends, returns to the fore every January as a thematic portal on Saint John Bosco. The birth of the initiative in 2012 was part of the proposals that the Congregation in Spain launched in preparation for the Bicentenary of Don Bosco's birth, later celebrated in 2015, and this digital space had become the reference point for following the visit of the urn containing a distinguished relic of the saint to the different locations in Spain.

Today, conoceadonbosco.com still maintains its fundamental objective of being a Spanish-language reference site on the Saint of Youth; and offers the possibility of sending to This email address is being protected from spambots.

The site has, among other resources, 24 chapters of a serial radio story and allows users to download pictures, drawings, videos or musicals on the life of the saint. Material is also offered to animate celebrations such as the Eucharist, the triduum, moments of prayer and "good morning" thoughts to prepare for the feast of Don Bosco on 31 January.

Another section focuses on the life of the saint, and includes materials on Don Bosco's biography, studies on him, some of the saint's writings, games and suggestions for group meetings that can help get to know his life, dreams and miracles.

"We invite you to take a few minutes to browse through the different sections and find out where you can find what you are looking for on Don Bosco," shares the National Delegation of Social Communication of the Salesians of Spain. "Prepare your materials and enjoy the month of January, happy feast of St. John Bosco!"
