Mission Office
Dear Friends,
Saint John Bosco was named “Father and Teacher of Youth” by Pope John Paul II. He had one desire – to spend his life working with the young. This was achieved by employing a simple teaching method still practiced today. The Preventive System – based on love and not punishment, with reason, religion, and loving kindness. We call this the Salesian Spirit.
Today, many Missioners, Volunteers, and Cooperators practice his philosophy with the continued interest and generosity of people all over the world.
May our combined efforts bring hope to those in need. After all, Saint John Bosco is waiting for us in paradise.

The SALESIAN FamilyFrom the beginning of his work, Don Bosco needed help. Thus he called upon numerous people of good will. Little by little the Sale sian family took shape: a tree with many branches.
Each has its specific characteristics, but all share the same objective: to live the Gospel and to proclaim it to the young.
Salesians of Don Bosco, founded in 1859. Religious priests and lay brothers, who want to carry out in the Church the project of their founder: to be signs and bearers of the love of God for youth, especially the poorest. Today they are 16,000 in about 130 countries.
The Salesians Sisters of Don Bosco (or the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians); founded in 1872 by Don Bosco and St. Mary Domenica Mazzarello, are active religious Sisters who follow the same pastoral and educative project as the Salesians. Today, they are 15,700 in 89 countries.
The Salesians Cooperators. After the Society of St. Francis de Sales, Don Bosco founded, in 1876, the Union of Cooperators. This union constitutes a vast international movement of persons who commit them selves to live in a
Salesian way, particularly by serving the young, in their work environ ments and in the local Church. They are more than 100 in Canada.
The Past Pupils of Don Bosco, founded around 1870. They are grouped into local associations and united on the national and international levels. To be a Past Pupil means to live, in the style of Don Bosco, in simplicity, cheefulness and family spirit.
The Don Bosco Volunteers were founded in 1917 from the generosity of three young women gathered around Don Philip Rinaldi, 3rd suc cessor of Don Bosco.
The Volunteers are women, organized in a Secular Institute, who commit themselves to work in the spirit of Don Bosco while remaining inserted into their regular daily life. Since 1994, there exists as well a mas culine branch.
In the footsteps of Don BoscoMore than twenty religious congregations, mascu line and feminine, Secular Institutes and Asso ciations of lay people were at their request officially recognized as part of the Salesian Family. All of them follow the Salesian Spirituality of Don Bosco.
Wide choice of religious pictures for interior (left).
PRIVILEGES OF THE MEMBERS:• Masses celebrated daily in perpetuity at
the Sacred Heart Basilica in Rome.• The members are united in the prayer and
apostolic work of the Salesians throughout the world.
THE SACRED HEART ASSOCIATION An Everlasting GiftAnyone, living or dead, may be enrolled in the Sacred Heart Association.
The membership certificate, issued in an 8” x 6” leatherette album (photo), is an excellent gift for a family in mourning as well as for a wedding, anniversary or any other special occasion. We offer a choice of colours (white, gold, navy blue and burgundy) and holy images.
The suggested offering is $15.00 for each person enrolled or $25.00 for a family enroll
ment. A small part of this is sent to Rome for the upkeep of the Sacred Heart Basilica. This basilica was built by Saint John Bosco at the explicit request of Pope Leo XIII. It was consecrated in May 1887.
The remainder makes up a fund used mainly for the promotion and education of priestly and religious vocations.
These offerings will help young men to follow their calling to the priestly or religious life as
Salesians of Saint John Bosco, serving the people of God, especially the young.
