Don Bosco while setting his life for his poor
youngsters, he dreamt about the missions, where he could spread his work around
the world, in order to serve youngsters worldwide. He sent his first Salesian
missionaries to Argentina in 1875. From there they spread throughout South
America. His followers today serve youth in 132 countries in the 5 continents,
thus prolonging the mission dream of their father and founder.
The Salesian Missionaries comprises of Priests,
Brothers and Sisters who care for the disadvantaged youth. They help young
people achieve intellectual, emotional and spiritual maturity, thus becoming
self-sufficient, contributing members of society, with Christian values and
good social skills. More importantly the Salesian Missionaries take the Word of
God to all the people whom they come in contact with.
Missionaries therefore are present here in this
environment to bring hope and faith to people in need, especially to the Young
at Risk (street children, school drop outs, child workers, rag pickers, victims
of war and violence, etc).
