(ANS – Rome) – The fundamental link between Youth Ministry and Family Ministry was put again at the centre of Salesian reflection by the Rector Major, Fr. Ángel Fernández Artime, with the Strenna 2017. But it is quite some time that diverse realities of the Salesian Family realise paths and proposals to accompany the families in today’s challenges.

(ANS - Turin) - A shed in the courtyard at Valdocco: it was here in 1846, in the heart of Turin suffering from social inequality, that Don Bosco founded his first oratory. In this same place (albeit now greatly changed) more than a century and a half later stands the headquarters of "Don Bosco Missions", committed to supporting Salesian works in the five continents.
