The work of Don Bosco


Dear Parents

The 31st of January is a special day for the worldwide Don Bosco Movement. It is the feast day of Don Bosco.  The work of Don Bosco with youth started with one young person in december 1841.  From there it steadily grew.  Until in 1859 the Salesian congregation was started.  This was a decisive step for the Don Bosco Movement.  Nowadays the Don Bosco movement is present in about 130 countries worldwide, reaching out for over 15 million young people.

In 1875 Don Bosco phrased it himself: "In doing this we are entering upon a mighty undertaking... who knows, this departure, this humble beginning may be the seed that will grow into a mighty tree... that will grow little by little and accomplish great things" Don Bosco Youth- would like to wish you all a happy feast day !
