The Salesians of Don Bosco…..

Are present wherever there are youngsters:

In schools and workshops, in city streets and dingy hovels, on deserted highways or in distant villages.

It is their joy to assist the wayward, the orphans and the enslaved, the dropouts, the deserted and the depressed.

And in all these endeavours they try to be eloquent signs of God’s abiding presence among the young.

Teaching the illiterate, guiding the confused,

reviving the despondent and encouraging the discouraged.

They are spurred on by the assurance

that they are trying to make the world a better place and our future a brighter one!

You can be a Salesian Brother or a Salesian Priest

There are two basic ways of living the Salesian vocation: Brotherhood or Priesthood. It all depends on what God is calling you to do. The Salesian Brother has traditionally been associated with technical schools, but many brothers also work with street boys, in academic schools, or in the field of social work and development. The Salesian Priest works side by side with the Salesian Brother in the service of young people, but brings to them the ministry of the priesthood, most especially in the area of spiritual direction, the sacrament of reconciliation and the Eucharist.
