(ANS - Lisbon) - A Salesian from Portugal tells us: "At the end of 2018 I installed an application that was causing a sensation among the very young, kids between 10 and 14 years old. While I was teaching catechesis to teenagers of that age, I got curious and discovered the world of TikTok®. And I immediately thought: 'Look at this, a good social network for young people, where they can explore their creativity with new choreographies, sharing music and dances, and without great commercial purposes!'"
(ANS - Rome) - On Saturday 5 December the Salesian Family recalled the liturgical memorial of Blessed Philip Rinaldi (1856-1931), Don Bosco's III Successor at the head of the Congregation. From his first profession, in 1880, until his death as Rector Major, he was involved in a great variety of Salesian charismatic enterprises, while always maintaining a rather low profile.
