Jose Kuruvachira – “History of the Inculturation of Don Bosco’s Charism in India: 1906-1956” in “Salesianum”

The article discusses the history of the inculturation of Don Bosco’s Charism in India in the first fifty years of the Salesian presence in the country (1906-1956).

Carlo Socol – “«Una istituzione che si occupa della classe operaia» la escola de artes e oficios di Macao nel suo primo ventennio (1906-1926)” in “L’Opera Salesiana dal 1880 al 1922. Esperienze particolari in Europa, Africa, Asia”.

La Escola de Artes e Oficios poteva vantare di offrire un tipo di insegnamento, con programmi e metodologie sperimentati, che a Macao erano unici nel loro genere. Era il modello delle scuole professionali promosso dalla Congregazione Salesiana, trapiantato, con opportuni adattamenti e con i limiti imposti dalle possibilità reali (non ultima quella del numero e della qualità del personale messo a disposizione dalla Congregazione), in un ambiente così diverso da quello in cui era nato.

The achievements of the Salesians during their 22 years of work at Tanjore were certainly remarkable. When they reached that place, there was just a large parish with a miserably housed middle school catering to about 130 boys and an incipient orphanage with a handful of inmates.

Cristóbal López Romero – “Spiritualità di un educatore salesiano nelle terre dell’Islam” in “Forum salesiano”

La parola Kenitra, in arabo, significa “piccolo ponte”, è il diminutivo della parola “ponte” “Kàntara”. Il nome della nostra città esprime perfettamente la nostra missione. Vogliamo essere un piccolo ponte teso tra il nord (Europa) ed il sud (Africa), tra la civiltà occidentale e la civiltà arabo-islamica, tra cristiani e musulmani.

Recent studies conducted in India have shown that both perceived social support and spirituality contribute significantly to increasing life satisfaction of Indian college students.  While perceived social support is a major source of subjective well-being for adolescents, offering them physical and emotional comfort and protection from stressful events, spirituality enhances their purpose in life, interconnectedness with others, profound inner life and transcending of ordinary experiences.

Mons. Versiglia, Don Caravario, catechistesse e maestri, mentre risalivano il fiume verso Lin Chow, furono assaliti da una dozzina di pirati e derubati di quanto avevano.
