(ANS – Rome) – The Salesian mission in Portugal began in 1894, when three Salesians were sent from Italy by then-Rector Major, Fr. Michele Rua. They took charge of an existing orphanage, the São Caetano Institute in Braga. Soon after, the Sons of Don Bosco expanded their presence throughout Portugal. By 1910, they had already established Salesian houses in Lisbon, Porto, Viana do Castelo, the Azores, Macau, and even missions in India (Tanjore and Mylapore) and Mozambique.

(ANS – Rome) – The establishment of the Salesians of Don Bosco in the Africa Nigeria Niger (ANN) Province stands as a testament to the far-reaching missionary zeal of the Salesian Congregation. This mission traces its roots to "Project Africa," an initiative launched during the General Chapter of 1978 under the leadership of Fr. Egidio Viganò. In response, several Salesians courageously left their home countries to bring Don Bosco’s spirit and mission to Africa.

Since then, BSP has given rise to two other Salesian Provinces in Brazil: the "St. John Bosco" Province, based in Belo Horizonte (BBH), established in 1947 and the "St. Pius X" Salesian Province, based in Porto Alegre (BPA), established in 1963
