La notizia principale che ho da darvi è l’elezione fatta del nuovo Prefetto Generale della nostra Pia Società. Il vuoto lasciato attorno a me dalla perdita dell’indimenticabile Don Belmonte, di sempre cara memoria, è grande, e non era assolutamente possibile lasciare per lungo tempo scoperto quel posto, che egli con tanta competenza teneva, senza che le cose nostre ne soffrissero gravi danni.
Perhaps of all the leading political personages of the Italian Risorgimento with whom Don Bosco enjoyed some measure of friendship, Urbano Rattazzi’s name, like Abou Ben Adam’s, led the rest.
La prassi nasce all’interno della pastorale universitaria dell’Arcidiocesi di Torino in sinergia con la Caritas Diocesana, le istituzioni accademiche del territorio civili e religiose, le istituzioni politiche (Città Metropolitana) e il Centro Servizi per il volontariato. La finalità dell’azione è molteplice ed ha diversi piani: da un lato l’educazione dei giovani attraverso il contatto diretto con la fragilità variamente declinata ed incontrata, dall’altro l’implementazione negli enti che per missione stanno accanto alla fragilità delle competenze e della capacità innovativa dei giovani studenti universitari. Ulteriori finalità e motivazioni sono il dialogo e la collaborazione con le istituzioni coinvolte creando così un clima di fiducia reciproca e collaborazione foriero di nuove possibilità di azione pastorale.

The road traveled by John Bosco, as child and teenager, in his quest for an education, proved to be a bumpy one, marked by frequent twists and turns and occasionally stalled by unforeseen roadblocks. But despite occasional disheartening setbacks, John’s high hopes in his pursuit of an education would prevail over disconcerting frustrations.
The present study aims, not at any new interpretation, but simply at describing some aspects of the actual circumstances of the origins on the basis of fresh documentation now available. In particular, restricting the field of inquiry, I will focus on the young people who were protagonists in Don Bosco’s work at its origin.
But if Marseilles was so close, why did “Paolino” Albera not come to Turin during those final days of January 1888? Why was he not at Don Bosco’s bedside? How did the death of his spiritual father and mentor impact on him?
In the first part of his study on the “Bosco-Gastaldi conflict”, Arthur Lenti drew attention to another figure similarly involved in a painful controversy with the Archbishop of Turin, namely Sr. Marie-Louise-Angelique Clarac, foundress of the Sisters of Charity of St. Mary, also known as the Sisters of Charity of Good Counsel.
Turin’s EXPO ’84 was to become the bittersweet culmination of Don Bosco’s remarkable and varied career as publisher, author, and printer. For almost 40 years he had been active in the cause of the Catholic press and as editor of educational publications.
Included in the copious documentation that comprises the chronicles and annals of the early history of the Salesian Society in the Salesian archives in Rome, there is a treasure trove of diaries, journals, memoirs, and daybooks which chart the ebb and flow of the early years of the Oratory of Saint Francis of Sales.

Don Bosco then goes on to describe the nature and purpose of the Convitto. It was a kind of ‘ finishing school’ where (he says) “one learnt to be a priest.”
This paper will survey that period in Don Bosco’s life that saw him ordained a priest. It will not be a study of Don Bosco the priest.
In carrying out his humble apostolate on behalf of poor and abandoned boys, Saint John Bosco (1815-1888) came into frequent contact with the wealthy and the powerful of Piedmontese society.
This is the story of a woman; a woman that commands our attention; a woman of extraordinary character, virtue and holiness; a woman of exquisite personal sensitivity.
In this article M. Ribotta explains Don Bosco’s commitment to promoting education in Turin.
